The BOS still claims they cut taxes in the 2000s versus effectively allowing them to raise over 100% from 2002 to 2007. They spent all the money and then claim they are poor when the recession hits in 2008. They close the libraries early, threaten additional fee's in education in an effort to scare the public into paying a higher tax rate versus taking away the high school band. Like the high school band is the problem. When you can't trust your elected officials, and somehow they keep getting re-elected, you have a big problem. Oh well, if they keep people stupid, they will keep getting re-elected. Not much incentive for some politicians to change.

For every 1 percent of that budget that can be cut, 30 million can be alloted to transportation. Why of the 21 options given on the county's survey are 19 of them taxes or fees? Why don't they clean their own house, stop making Fairfax County a sancutuary city and realize that we are in a recession and they need to tighten their belt too, instead of always reaching into our pockets. They misuse their funds and therefore this problem lies squarely at the feet of the BOS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
