[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our taxes went up 20% (from 5% to 6%) in NoVA to create a dedicate source of funding for transportation. (The rest of VA went up 10% from 5% to 5.5%). Fairfax county leadership supported it since we needed to support metro (which the rest of VA doesn't benefit from). Funny now that they got their 1% sales tax increase, they used it to support the general fund and are now back at the well wanting to raise it again, you guessed it, to support delaying the Metro depth spiral.[/quote] Much (most?) of it does not go for metro. Here is what was funded in 2015-2016. http://thenovaauthority.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/FY2015-16-Two-Year-Program-Adopted-April-23-2015-by-Jurisdiction.pdf You will note road widenings, BRT lines, a bus garage,design for a metro entrance in Ballston, and for a new metro station in Alexandria.
