If you happen to see the Alexandria Sheriff, please ask if he will be helping ICE. Our previous sheriff made courtesy calls to ICE. He held people for hours past their scheduled release or ICE, even when found not guilty of any crime. Please. Not this time. grassrootsalexandria.org/positive-pre...

Duke St, for the win! And (bonus!!) City Council voted to prevent a safe, continuous bikeway when Duke is rebuilt. (In their defense, I'll acknowledge that dead Alexandrians don't vote)
