  WHEREAS, Virginia Code Section 24.2-233 states in pertinent part: “Upon petition, a circuit court may remove from office any elected officer … [f]or neglect of duty, misuse of office, or incompetence in the performance of duties when that neglect of duty, misuse of office, or incompetence has a material adverse effect upon the conduct of the office.”

  WHEREAS, the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Fairfax County Steve Descano failed to follow the law\ regarding his obligations under the Freedom of Information Act, Virginia Code Section 2.2-3700 et seq. until ordered by a judge in the Fairfax County General District Court to comply with his legal obligations as an elected official;

  WHEREAS, the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Fairfax County Steve Descano has refused to properly prosecute defendants in numerous drug, felony, and sexual assault cases resulting in victims of these types of crimes cases feeling alienated and therefore unimportant;

  WHEREAS, the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Fairfax County Steve Descano has refused to properly enforce the laws of the state legislature by allowing large swathes of crimes to go unprosecuted and endangering public safety by refusing to seek sentences authorized by the Virginia Constitution;

  WHEREAS, the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Fairfax County Steve Descano has refused to prosecute all kinds of misdemeanors because of so-called understaffing and withheld exculpatory evidence in a sequence of Brady violations;
