I don't think we can trust any government official in Virginia on anything that relates to someone else's real estate interests. That covers both zoning and transportation.<BR/><BR/>Groveton - I've heard the same "song of woe" from Vince Callahan, Janet Howell and now Margi Vanderhye.<BR/><BR/>It's true that Fairfax County does not have the votes to control the General Assembly, but it probably does have sufficient votes to stop enabling the ongoing rip-off of county residents. Simply stop voting for anything that does not make Fairfax County residents better off tomorrow than they are today. <BR/><BR/>But, most Fairfax County legislators are afraid of the big real estate types, the Washington Post and the gar-boons who pose as business leaders in NoVA. "We did the best we could, but we just had to pass this, that or the other bill." <BR/><BR/>Pass legislation authorizing adequate public facilities ordinances and I'll call it even to date.<BR/><BR/>TMTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
