[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Gatehouse salaries are such a low portion of the overall budget I don't see why that would be a factor.[/quote]

It isn’t a factor, just a silly talking point to pit employees against themselves so that they forget that the Board of Supervisors and state are the real roadblocks to pay. [/quote]

The state is not a roadblock.  Give me a break.

Fairfax is a rich, wealthy area.

It is not the job of Richmond to subsidize us.  [/quote]

In fact it is the state’s job to fund education in VA according to the VA constitution and the JLARC report: https://jlarc.virginia.gov/pdfs/summary/Rpt575Sum-1.pdf.  And Fairfax subsidies the state already. Learn about the LCI.[/quote]

The state gives the counties the power to set and collect local personal taxes.  Fairfax county has their own taxing authority over real estate, meals, and cars.

Again, we are a very rich county.  Richmond should not and will not subsidize us.  That is what naturally happens in governments and wealthy areas give to poorer areas.
