What does STOP SPENDING really mean for NOVA?

 STOP SPENDING is a bumper sticker.  Let’s take a look at what it means on a local  level for those of us living here in Prince William County in Northern Virginia.

I have been asking around about 287(g) and Secure Communities.  I uncovered a little more than I intended.  See for yourself–

Very few law enforcement agencies participate in 287g – maybe 70.  This can be largely attributed to staffing needs.  Most agencies are losing staff or remaining flat and can’t devote cops for that when they’re not getting additional officers.   This has been the case in PWC for several years.  Promises were made, promises where not always kept by the BOCS.
 
What hits us even harder is the defunding of the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force.  The Northern Virginia Gang Task Force was de-funded two years ago – Frank Wolf had obtained the funding via earmark.  Then he pledged not to vote for earmarks.   I wonder who encouraged that pledge?  Could it be the Grover Norquist crowd?

Richard Mourdock thinks pregnancy from rape was intended by God

All well and good, bizarro boy, but do not inflict your beliefs on the rest of us. 

What a shame that strange people like this are always the ones who feel that they must spread the word if elected to office.

I have decided beliefs like this should disqualify a person from office.

How many more of these clowns are Republicans going to inflict on the rest of us?

Normal thinking Republicans!! Where are you?  Make your party stop doing this!!!

Bizarro Dude Mourdock is running for the senate from Indiana.  I would think his opponent, Rep. Joe Donnelly,  would be loving life with remarks like these but we are talking about Indiana.  It isn’t known for its enlightenment.
