LETTER: In Support of Deshundra Jefferson for County Board Chair

 

April 6, 2023

 

The Prince William County circus is never short on sideshows.

 

In eastern Prince William, we’re gambling on “The Rose”.  In western Prince William, we’ve bet the house on data centers.

 

The latest PWC Police Department report shows our violent crime rate has skyrocketed since 2019.  Good luck getting those winnings home from the casino.

 

Our Absence-of-Planning Office is absolutely melting down after a series of controversial decisions that prioritized developer exploitation over prudent land use.  Senior planning staff runs for their professional lives without a word of explanation.  Are even the exiles muzzled by non-disclosure agreements?

 

Just when you think you need a breath of fresh air, there isn’t any.  Despite our sustainability goals, PWC is one of two Northern Virginia counties actually INCREASING its greenhouse gas emissions.  As if no one’s paying attention, our earth-moving and clear-cutting Chair don’s environmental lipstick to gloss over her abysmal record before a Green Business Council invented by her husband.

 

And when you’re drowning, you can always count on our self-serving friends along Pageland Lane to throw you an anchor.  Ken Knarr has generously stepped forward to claim Pete Candland’s financially-conflicted “what’s-in-it-for-me?” role in the Republican primary.  This stunt is most likely designed to dilute the burgeoning opposition to our beleaguered Chair.

 

For all these “services”. You got a tax increase.  In the alternate universe of Ann Wheeler, this bedlam is supposed to merit her re-election.  She has inexplicably chosen to run ON a record most would be running FROM.

 

Pulling off this con requires an awful lot of voter disengagement.  Don’t fall for it.  Vote for Deshundra Jefferson in the June 20th Democratic primary.

  Subject: A Trojan Horse at the Gate On March 7 th , members of the Heritage Hunt Homeowner’s Association met with representatives from QTS to hear about their plans for developing the adjacent Prince William Digital Gateway.  They had previously met with representatives from Compass Datacenters on February 28 th .  The Heritage Hunt Board of Directors is justifiably wary of interlopers who have demonstrated they will employ any tactic that serves their interests.  The Heritage Hunt Board wrote: “Our previously stated concerns that the Digital Gateway is inappropriate for the Pageland area and that there are more suitable uses for that land has not changed.”  Citizens of Prince William County are still irate over the unethical practices employed by QTS and Compass in strong-arming their way into our area despite broad public opposition.  Both corporations negotiated plans secretly, under the cloak of non-disclosure agreements designed to inhibit publi...

  Friends and Neighbors, In light of the shameless Devlin Technology Park betrayal ( UPDATED: Prince William Supervisors OK Devlin data centers despite residents' objections | News | princewilliamtimes.com ), how many of you have been wondering how public officials sworn to represent your interests can not only be indifferent to your welfare, but actually take the side of predatory corporations determined to exploit you? Peruse the multiple tabs of the spreadsheet at:   Donations Driving Data Centers - Google Sheets   and wonder no more.  Instead, wonder why any of us ever thought we might get the time-of-day from blatant political prostitutes masquerading as supervisors.  If you want their attention, you’re going to need a bigger suitcase full of cash.  If the obscene amount of money showered on our current crop of Democratic supervisors isn’t a corrupting influence, I don’t know what is.   Now prepare yourselves for the next public fleecin...
