Why John Foust (D - Dranesville) Must Go

[Anonymous]

For years John Foust championed major development in Tysons from the comfort of his expensive house in the Langley section of McLean.

What he hasn't championed is sufficient investment in the school infrastructure in Tysons. Nor did he object in any way to the deceitful scheme by School Board member Elaine Tholen, also a Langley resident, to leave Marshall HS and McLean HS to handle all the growth taking place in Tysons, while Langley HS remains free of any multi-family housing and hundreds of students under capacity.

So what does Foust go out of his way to tell his Dranesville constituents is among the top priorities at an upcoming Board of Supervisors meeting? A proposed amendment to the county code to establish regulations on running bamboo and to authorize the imposition of $3000 in civil penalties annually on property owners who fail to contain their running bamboo.

Seriously, John. The BOS can't even begin to plan properly for the urban density you've authorized, but you think your constituents are going to support you because you're taking an aggressive position on an invasive plant?

Please just step aside before you become even more of a caricature of a local politician than you are already.

So you’d rather have a republican in there instead?

What a stupid post.

I agree - but that said, I'm getting awfully tired of the same poster constantly grousing about this subject. It's beyond old.

Here just to learn WTH "Dranesville" is.

Only Republicans aren't allowed to vote a straight party ticket. Don't you know anything?

People should try to contain bamboo but it’s bloody hard and the current property owner may not have been the one who planted it, and it may be there because it ran onto their yard.
