Hey, 1 Million Cups — Many of you know me as a volunteer organizer of our weekly group sessions, but this week I’ll be presenting to our group in search of feedback for a new initiative we are working on at my company, as we continue to work to tell the story of our community and to connect those who live in it.
Potomac Local will turn six years old this year, and we’re working on a new program that provides our customers with more options to work with professional writers to tell their stories and to show their impact in our community. At the same time, we’re exploring the possibility of holding more events in the area to connect our readers with our customers, as well as to help educate new residents on all the things our vibrant community has to offer.
Barbara Larrimore sent out a rallying cry for parents to come to the Prince William County Public Schools headquarters on Jan. 27, 2017 to press school leaders for more recess in public schools.

From the National Weather Service:
“The most likely scenario is for most locations to receive a coating to an inch of snow…but a thin band of 1-3” is possible where the banding precipitation does setup. Will assess the new guidance this afternoon before making a decision on headlines.

From Prince William police:
Armed Robbery – On January 25 at 8:33PM, officers responded to the 8200 block of Sudley Rd in Manassas (20109) to investigate a robbery. The victim, a 60-year-old man of Alexandria, reported to police that he picked up two unknown men in Alexandria in his taxi then transported them to the above area. While the victim was driving, one of the men brandished a handgun and demanded money. At some point, the victim was hit on the head with the handgun. The suspects then fled the area on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. The victim was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. A police K-9 was used to search for the suspects who were not located. The investigation continues.

RICHMOND, Va. – In a slap at President Donald Trump, two Democratic legislators are pushing for a state law requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns in order to get on the ballot in Virginia.
Del. Mark Levine of Alexandria and Sen. Jeremy McPike of Woodbridge filed their legislation after Trump refused to make his tax returns public during the Republican nominee’s successful presidential campaign last fall. It had been a tradition for presidential hopefuls to disclose their tax filings; candidates had done so for 40 years.
