Herndon official offers options to controversial day laborer law

In a private Tuesday night meeting, Herndon’s town attorney presented city council members with options for changing a law aimed at keeping day laborers off the street before the city is sued by immigration advocates. The options, presented in a memo reviewed by The Washington Examiner, ranged from repealing the law altogether to replacing it with one that more closely mirrors legislation adopted by Vienna and Albemarle County that is less controversial. According to people familiar with the discussions, council members gravitated toward redrafting the law to “preserve its form and structure” while restricting its reach to street solicitation.
