Hello and Happy Wednesday.

I’m taking a moment to update you on a few things happening locally, as well as a few things happening here at PLN.

I remember the first time I covered a meeting of the Prince William County Planning Commission.

The body, appointed by members of the Board of County Supervisors, meets regularly and is tasked with making recommendations to the Supervisors on land-use matters. Putting simply, if a large development like a neighborhood of homes or a large shopping mall is built, plans for the new development have most likely passed through the Planning Commission.

I’m excited to announce that, in the coming days you’re going to see even more local news in our regular news email.

The addition of more local news into our local news email comes after we introduced a new adopt pets feature and more local ads into our news email.

Being a journalism entrepreneur, one of the things I like to do from time to time is talk to — you guessed it — other entrepreneurs and business leaders.

This year, I’ve enjoyed talking to several local business leaders for our series “5 Questions with the CEO.”

Good evening and Happy Memorial Day.

Please take time this holiday weekend to remember those who fought and died for the freedoms we enjoy every day here in the U.S.

Standing, facing the U.S. Flag, and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance was a daily occurrence when I was a child in Prince William County Public Schools.

As we report on the school policies from public school divisions across our region, we’d like to hear from you.

During my time covering state and local politics, I’ve heard a lot of stump speeches.

Finally, as he moves around the commonwealth, I hope he sets aside time to speak with (gaggle, as we refer to it) with the when get steps off stage.
