Prince William County’s Economic Woes

From Potomac News:

Manassas City Public Schools Superintendent Gail Pope says she will remain focused on educating the city’s children, despite a gloomy economic forecast predicting close to a 20 percent drop in real estate assessment values and a possible tax hike.

The evidence of PWC’s economic woes has begun to surface, and I only anticipate it will get worse. Just a couple of days ago, the City of Manassas Council decided to increase the property tax rate to keep revenues at the previous level. The housing market has deteriorated significantly due to the subprime implosion and the credit crunch. Additionally, the impact of the recent PWC decision to deny services to undocumented immigrants – including foreclosure prevention assistance to families – has led to the deterioration of our housing market and the continued decrease in revenues. Finally, the fear experienced by many families has forced them to either leave PWC or to stay home, causing a significant drop in revenues for the local businesses.

Join me in making a difference in PWC. Together we can be agents of change.

On November 6^th, vote for a new voice, vote for Aracely Panameno, write-in candidate for the position of Supervisor for the Neabsco Magisterial District.
