Group Seeks to Halt Review of Prince William County Law
posted 8:43 am Tue August 07, 2007 - Manassas, VA
The leader of the commission, Phyllis Aggrey, says the commission decided to hold the meetings to learn more about the law after several people came forward with concerns.
She says it does not plan to bring any formal discrimination charges.
But Help Save Manassas President Greg Letiecq says the Human Rights Commission has no authority to meet to discuss the resolution.
He says the appointed commission is not allowed to review decisions by an elected body.
County Executive Craig Gerhart won't say whether he plans to stop the meetings.
