Guns, Perhaps they should have been and will be in the future. Housing, speaking English and dental health cross over jurisdictional boundaries. Thanks for that information though.

MH,

I don’t think that any elected officials from Manassas City or Manassas Park (or Fairfax City) were specifically invited to the VOICE gathering.

SA, I don’t think anything was said by VOICE about home ownership. But poor people do need a place to live that they can afford. Often these are rentals. Having said that, many places come to mind.

I am not sure what VOICE was actually looking for, as a stated goal. However, I know that there are ways to say no and there are ways NOT to say no. All government help does not have to be in the form of a hand out. Donating meeting space, directing people to where affordable housing might be, volunteerism, are all ways of helping. The questions were very general. (will you help….?) He would have easily said yes yes yes and then qualified with it won’t be money because we have severe budget issues.

Corey needs to project that Prince William County is not a mean-spirited, redneck county and that we welcome all people. The only No, yes, No out there doesn’t project that image.

Does anyone know if Manassas Park and Manassas City were invited to participate in the VOICE gathering? Were they invited and declined particpation or were they not invited?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the government’s push to lower requirements for home mortgages to effect ‘affordable housing’ what got the nation into the mess we are in? In an effort to help those who couldn’t ‘afford’ a home we went and gave them one (no money down, no credit checks) that they then left the banks holding. It’s always the same, no good deed will ever go unpunished. I believe in giving the little guy an opportunity, but not just handing it to the little guy. The great social welfare programs brought in the 60’s is proof that even well intentioned programs can lead to disaster, as is the ‘affordable mortgage/housing’ push today. Bottom line, if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it, and don’t take financial advice from people who drive cars that cost half as much as their homes!

The elusive,” playing innocent on anti,” erudite Emma strikes again as her real self, a black velvet.

She is outraged that VOICE wants to do things in the community and calls them ‘out-of-touch idiots.’ Emma must have missed reading about the soup lines during the great depression. Charity and helping others survives even during a depression or recession.
