[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh and this is all being said on the annandale blog.

Why dont you also threaten to secede from Fairfax while you are at it?

You do know that would require consent from Richmond, which you will not get, because too many counties around the commonwealth would be threatened.

But I hve a deal - North County can secede, but "rest of Fairfax" keeps Tysons, and the other TOD areas adjacent to the Silver Line.   We can finally build what we want there, without getting signoff from the MCA.   [/quote]

[b]The McLeanites are saying this?????[/quote][/b][/b]

No we are not.  See above.  MCA does not speak for the McLean residents.  This is all bullshit.[/quote]

McLean has about 45,000 residents and the MCA has about 600 paying members.

On the other hand, the MCA has some clout since the more active members do know about things like zoning laws and school budgets.  The current Dranesville Supervisor, John Foust, was once very active in the MCA.  The committee member who spearheaded this particular resolution, Louise Epstein, is a former School Board candidate who probably understands the FCPS budget better than any current member of the School Board.

So they don't speak for everyone in McLean, but they aren't totally pulling this stuff out of a hat, either.  The very large class sizes in McLean schools are a major source of concern among many parents.   [/quote]
