Mayor Rejects Call for English-Only Documents – Herdon, Virginia
Tagged: English-only, police, VirginiaPosted on: December 17th, 2006“Herndon will continue to print some official town documents in Spanish, according to its mayor, effectively tabling a proposal by a Town Council member to publish only in English as a way of prodding Hispanic immigrants to learn the language.
Mayor Stephen J. DeBenedittis said that after reviewing material printed in both languages, including a police advisory of constitutional rights and a brochure on smoke alarms, he is satisfied that the use of Spanish is justified.”
