If it wasn’t so pathetic, it would be funny. \u00a0So Hal Pal has Sheriff Glen Hill (Republican) in his latest TV ad supporting him. \u00a0 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. \u00a0You also need to know that Sheriff Hill is African-American. \u00a0I suspect that this is a not-so-subtle example of Hal Pal’s version of attracting black votes. \u00a0The ad is also ironic: \u00a0Supported schools? \u00a0No. \u00a0Manassas City Schools are rated 3 out of 10 or lowest in every survey because Hal Pal and his cronies wouldn’t make the full commitment to the school system. \u00a0(I think if Hal Pal was sent to Richmond, we could expect to see Hal Pal supporting vouchers so Virginia tax payer money will be diverted to private and parochial schools leaving our public schools depleted and vulnerable.) Supported improvements to Rte. 28 and Rte. 1? \u00a0No. \u00a0In fact, he’s on record voting against a transportation package because of “frivolous bike trails.” \u00a0Sheriff Hill has nothing to lose supporting Hal Pal. Literally. \u00a0He’s in. \u00a0Hopefully, Hal Pal will be out! \u00a0It’s foolish to think that sending Hal Pal to Richmond will be good for Manassas because he will abdicate his position as Mayor. \u00a0The alternatives are just as bad plus additional power in Richmond is exactly what Manassas and Prince William County don’t need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
