Speaker Howell, your constituents need you

If ever there was an opportunity for Speaker Bill Howell to represent and support his constituents' needs, now is the time ["Roads session starts today," June 23].

The special session of the General Assembly provides this opportunity to act like a statesman.

Time is running out. Our highways and thoroughfares are already clogged, and we will see a massive influx of people with the new BRAC operations (20,000 new employees at Fort Belvoir and in Prince William County).

Del. Howell's constituents are going to receive the brunt of these Defense Department employees, as well as untold numbers of consultants and staff that support Defense operations in the private sector.
