Final UVA Report on Illegal Immigration Presented Tues. 11/16

MoonHowler

Tomorrow, Tuesday, Novemeber 16, the final  UVA Report on illegal immigration will be presented during the BOCS Meeting.   Dr. Guterbock of UVA will present the final report to the BOCS tomorrow afternoon. 

There are a few irregularies.  The report was not available at the time the agenda was published on the county website.  If one clicks on view, there is just the title sheet and no report.  As much as UVA  has been paid to do this report, not having at least a draft available is simply unacceptable. 

To add to the irregularities, a recess as been added to the order of business and a press conference  has been scheduled following the formal presentation by Dr. Guterbock.  Whoever heard of interrupting a Supervisors meeting for a press conference?  Perhaps Corey is afraid that the Chief is going to schedule one also and steal his thunder.  We feel certain Corey wants to put his own spin on things, especially if the UVA report says something he doesn’t like.  In Prince William County, the spin does not necessarily stop here. 

Why would a press conference be scheduled in the middle of a meeting?  Why was no draft available to preview?  Tune in tomorrow afternoon.  This ought to be quite a show.  Does Corey’s entire rule of law campaign hang on this report? 

CORRECTION:  The supervisors had a copy of the report delivered to their house on Saturday afternoon.  This is getting more mysterious.  Why was a copy NOT posted on the agenda?

Cindy Brookshire: Manassas Woman of the Year

MoonHowler

Congratulations to Cindy Brookshire.  She was selected Manassas Woman of the Year!  Cindy will be riding in the open convertible in this year’s Christmas Parade and she certainly serves as a wonderful role model for us all.

Cindy is a leader in her church and her community.  She keeps everyone informed of all the good things about the City of Manassas.  She doesn’t stop her efforts at the boundary lines either.  She is more than willing to share her time and effort with Prince William County. 

Cindy has been very instrumental in making the Neighborhood Watch Program a pillar in many communities.  She has also worked closely with city officials and youth groups to do neighborhood cleanups and spruce ups.  Cindy doesn’t just camp on the phone, organizing these initiatives.  She is out there with everyone else and is generally the last to leave a clean up site.

Cindy is not afraid to step out of her comfort zone over things she believes to be right and just.  She doesn’t look around to make sure she is on the popular side of an issue.  We are all proud of Cindy Brookshire and wish her well during her reign as Manassas Woman of the Year! 

 

 

Westboro Demonstrates at WSHS–200 Counter-Protesters

MoonHowler

Five members of the extremist group from Westboro Baptist Church out of Topeka, Kansas showed up on Old Bridge Road to protest at Woodbridge Senior High School.  The Westboros were greeted by about 200 counter-demonstrators waving flags, signs with positive messages  and singing “God Bless America.”  The principal of WSHS had asked the school community to ignore Westboro.  Apparently he was ignored also.  Westboro was greatly outnumbered.

The message was clearly sent:  Don’t Mess with Woodbridge.

Apparently the activities stirred up quite a traffic jam and one can only imagine the sights the students coming in on buses got to enjoy.   

UPDATE:  Westboro did not make it to the Coast Guard Recruiting Center.  There were plenty of folks out on Smoketown Road for the counter-demonstration there also.
