 Gainesville resident Bill Wright supports Jefferson-D for Chair of Prince William County Board of Supervisors

 


Posted Wednesday, April 12, 2023     (Anti-Digital Gateway Activist Endorses Deshundra Jefferson for Chair - Bristow Beat)

Ask yourself: Are you better off than you were four years ago, or have your dreams been hijacked to serve the selfish aims of others?

Prince William County is at a crossroads and the 2023 elections will decide whether we free ourselves from subservience to developer exploitation or slip permanently into the abyss. 

 

A positive change awaits in the candidacy of Deshundra Jefferson for County Board Chair.  She vows to restore transparency and integrity to a government that has been quick to abuse your trust and give away the store to big tech predators who are gorging on your slice of the pie.

 

We must diversify our commercial tax base among ALL targeted industries, vice putting all our eggs in the data center basket, and focus on attracting small businesses by reducing barriers to their establishment.

 

Deshundra believes we cannot accept the rise in violent crime as the “new normal”.  Instead, we should employ community policing practices, where law enforcement officers build relationships with community members in an effective partnership to promote public safety.  We should develop programs to incentivize law enforcement officers to live within the neighborhoods they serve to increase their community investment and foster trust.

 

Taxes fund essential services, but we must scrutinize how they are spent.  And we must ensure tax equity among homeowners, small businesses and big corporations.  You deserve a fair tax bill and full value for what you pay.

 

Take back your county.  Vote for Deshundra Jefferson in the June 20th Democratic primary.  Early voting starts on May 5th.

 

Bill Wright

Gainesville

  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...
