• Tom Osina wants Manassas mayor job as Davis-Younger exits Sept. 30 (potomaclocal.com) — Manassas Council member Tom Osina says he wants to be appointed interim mayor when Michelle Davis‑Younger steps down September 30 and then seek the Democratic nomination in the next election. In a detailed interview, he outlines views on data centers, taxes, school funding, and neighborhood outreach, while also acknowledging fellow Democrat Vice Mayor Mark Wolfe wants the job too.
• Surgery for spinal condition follows hit from dump truck (valawyersweekly.com) — A Prince William County crash case involving a dump truck rear-end collision led to lumbar surgery and a $740,000 settlement after the plaintiff's degenerative spinal condition was aggravated. A Manassas-based attorney from Coleman, Manassas, Locklin & Coleman handled the case, which shows how serious injuries and delayed treatment can still result in significant compensation when medical evidence supports the claim.
