I'm not sure what she was hoping to accomplish by posting this and publically embarassing the chairman of the BOS. Meren could have been much more effective as a leader if she had handled this behind the scenes and used some political skills. Imagine what she could have gotten for the students and staff of FCPS if she had sat down with McKay and come to an agreement instead of a unhinged social media post.

Nope. From the texts posted, she first asked him to clarify if he was calling her a sexist name. He could have apologized to her then and there and I 100% believe it would have ended there. But, no. He doubled down on his language with total disregard. By posting it, she brought more attention to her cause ..which is that safety of students (even 15 and 16 year old ones at a high school) matter.

Agreed. It makes him look like a male bimbo on policy and behavior.

The fiscal issues every year after budget approvals are annoying. The state almost always gives more than what is in the county budgets making these arguments silly.

Shame on him. He sounds like a moron.

How is it professional for Meren to post what she did?

This is what women all over the US are dealing with from many men in the workforce and at home since Trump made it acceptable to call people names publicly and especially in politics. I applaud anyone who brings it to light.

This. I don’t even have an opinion on crossing guards but I have am opinion on the kind of man who calls a woman a bimbo.

But we don’t need high school crossing guards. Fairfax is the only nearby jurisdiction that had them. Budget responses showed there were not accidents in those areas. Of course there might be more if the guards are removed but we don’t know.

A kid was hit by a car at our ES -- in MM's district. Crossing guard was there and it still happened but I think it could be worse without. I'd at least keep them at elementary schools.

The bimbo comment does not surprise me sadly. We have learned in the past several years just how misogynistic so many men are.

One does wonder if Meren would have been quite so quick to attack the County Executive publicly in one of her FB screeds if he was not a Black man. We have learned in the past several years just how racist and condescending so many white women are.

This is how I feel too. However, I DO think some schools need crossing guards, even at the HS level, because of teens making poor choices and schools on main roads. I don't follow Meren closely because I live in a different area and sometimes she comes off as a bit abrasive. But we need to call out anyone making these types of comments so that people see it is not acceptable. Trump and his "locker talk" has given a lot of men a free pass, when that shouldn't be the case.

No. Boomers were born before 1964.

McKay is the Chair of the Board of Supervisors. It was Meren’s public attack on the County Executive, who is Black, that led McKay to angrily text Meren.

Problem easily solved by women leaving the workforce and wearing niqab. Women working is a Democrat plot to flood the labor force to drive down wages, and promote homosexuality.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Fairfax Democrats are a mess. And I say this as a Democrat.

This is 90% of politicians on both sides. The difference is at least the modern Republicans are really up front about how awful they are, while the Dems still try to hide it. But every few years we get a scandal like this one and it's obvious.

The Federalist Papers and "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" weren't wrong you know.

Between the resturant tax, fees for plastic shopping bags and real estate tax revenue increases where does our tax dollars go? What is the county spending it on?For FCPS, I know there are teachers unions now. We certainly aren’t getting textbooks.

The only county supervisor who pushes back is Herrity. He is an island.

So many County residents willingly roll with the tax increases. It’s out of control

He's an island because he's a Republican. This is why purple areas tend to be the best to live in - when one party (either one!) controls too long with no pushback, bad patterns get entrenched. This is why Rudy Guiliani, before he became a laughingstock, was actually a decent mayor. He came in and undid entrenched bad habits by coming from the other party.

If our whole county government was Republican a lone Dem would look smart too.
