Aracely Panameño, candidata a Supervisora

A Spanish language story on the campaign

Statement of Aracely Panameno

Prince William County, Virginia

To the members of my community in Woodbridge and to all registered voters in the Neabsco Magisterial District:

Our community is facing many serious problems. Students do not have books in the classroom. Teachers have to use their own money to buy school and teaching supplies. Homeowners are facing difficulties paying their mortgages due to resetting interest rates. Many of them are selling their property under stress, some are unable to refinance their loans because home prices have dropped, the value of their loan is higher than that of the house and are now facing foreclosure. Police officers are getting increased responsibilities for which they are not trained and the police department does not have the resources to address those training needs. Our local budget is stretched out already; yet over the next five years alone, the police department will need more than $14 Million to implement one law. The department only has about $325,000 in its budget right now. What do we do? Where do we turn for solutions?
