Soliciting Public Input Criticized

After all, the political class would rather that "We, the People" leave the policymaking to them.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors chairman has used taxpayer money to mail postcards about a meeting on a resolution to crack down on illegal immigration, angering board colleagues and others.

The postcard, from Corey A. Stewart (R), calls on residents to voice their opinions on the controversial resolution before and during a meeting Tuesday. The board will vote on funding and "implementing its policy to crack down on illegal immigration and cut off taxpayer-funded services to illegal aliens," according to the postcard.

Yeah, heaven forbid that the citizens of Prince William County have a say -- either way -- on this issue.
