The future leadership of Prince William County was thrown into question last week as Board of County Supervisors Chairman Sean T. Connaughton was nominated to head the U.S. Maritime Administration.
"OK", I thought to myself, "a little local politics reading". Then I saw this...(emphasis added)
Stewart stands apart from Friedman, Caddigan and Nohe in one glaring respect: He says the county has no responsibility to provide social services such as sheltering the homeless or working with troubled kids."It's not because I'm cruel, it's because the state and federal government has primary responsibility over that," Stewart said. He said that funding domestic-violence shelters, for instance, is a "slippery slope."
WOW, Domestic Violence shelters are a "slippery slope"? Fucking Christ! Ben, if your reading this, put this on my list for Weenie of the Week.
Any Republican that makes any sort of public appearance with Stewart needs to have his/her constituents be reminded of this.
Local Government is where the tough choices have to be made after looking at state and federal resources.
Stewart is not showing himself to be a good steward of that so far.
Anyone?
