Democrats could strengthen majority if mayor given permanent voting power

Manassas City leaders will consider giving their mayor a say.

A public hearing to discuss whether or not the city's mayor should have a vote is expected to be announced soon. Historically, the mayor has cast a vote only to play the role of a tie-breaker in the instance the council is deadlocked on an issue.

If approved, the measure would give more political power to the political party to which the respective mayor belongs. Mayor Hal Parrish, II, a Republican who has on the city council since 1993 and city mayor since 2008, will not seek re-election in the November 3 General Election.
