Manassas & Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee

If it wasn’t so pathetic, it would be funny.  So Hal Pal has Sheriff Glen Hill (Republican) in his latest TV ad supporting him.   You need to know, first of all, that Sheriff Hill is not only a Republican, but he is running for Sheriff and will be on the ballot next Tuesday unopposed.  You also need to know that Sheriff Hill is African-American.  I suspect that this is…

Sadly, I’ve been around long enough to have known Harry Parrish, Hal Pal’s dad, who was a Manassas City Councilman and then Mayor of Manassas before he was elected to the House of Delegates in 1982 where he served until he died in 2006.  I guess this is a “back then” kind of thought but I never remember Harry as controversial or supporting anything except what was best for his…

What a wonderful day……

If you are on FB, I’m sure you got Hal Pal’s post that he has been endorsed by web-based Inside Nova and it’s print edition Prince William Today.  After reading the glowing endorsement, I went back to Hal Pal’s campaign website and couldn’t help but notice that the Nova editorial was basically a paraphrase of Hal Pal’s self promotion.  There’s an inference that Medicaid expansion and gun control measures may…

Don Shaw has been endorsed by Washington Post.  Hopefully, this election will be Bob Marshall’s last one.  He has been an embarrassment to all Virginians.  His views on women’s health are draconian and dangerous.  The comment that hit home with me was when Marshall claimed that women who underwent abortions subsequently would give birth to children with disabilities or birth defects.  It is incredible to me that anyone, man or…

Let me start:  Everyday the Virginia GOP sends out daily talking points.  Ever wonder why all of a sudden we have this I66 toll controversy?  Well, GOP leaders and specifically Jackson Miller  and Howell create these directives to the GOP candidates and legislators so that there is a unifying message to amp up the masses.  Unfortunately, this “toll” issue is almost a year old.  I agree that there are a…

Voted to arm school “security” personnel. Voted to override veto of requirement for photo ID to apply for absentee ballots which makes absolutely no sense in addition to usual GOP attempts to restricting access for voters who would be likely Democratic voters. Voted to remove some requirements for out-of-state concealed handgun permits. Stay tuned and I will keep you updated. And I just want to mention the artificial toll debate…

Hal Pal is now trying to garner support is making claims that are untrue regarding the proposed Virginia of Transportation of Toll Lanes for route 66.  This is a manufactured controversy in an effort to get votes, the facts be damned.  Even Hal Pal’s GOP cronies at least have some of the facts correct.  It’s not just inside the beltway. The toll would be calculated based on commuting between Haymarket…

https://k12.niche.com/d/manassas-city-public-schools-va/ Manassas get’s a “C” thanks to Hal Pal.  He loves to spout how he supports education but then why does the Manassas City Public School system earn just a “C” and out of the 131 school districts in Virginia, Manassas ranks 96th in this survey.  Hal Pal is probably thinking of his affluent friends rather than those students who struggle as his definition of success.  But those striving folks…
