[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean resident (and native) here with 3 kids in the public school system. This sounds like an interesting idea, but I want to know a lot more before I support it. 1) How will our taxes change? Will there be additional taxes, ie city sales taxes like in Vienna and FCC? What would the rate of these taxes be? Would there be a McLean city administration and staff and how much would these people be paid? Would they be elected officials? What would their roles be? How much would be allocated to schools vs. other public works? Would we still be paying a portion of taxes to FFX Cty and how much?

I don't expect anyone on this thread to actually answer these questions, I just think everyone jumping on board right away needs to understand what's really at stake.

You could basically be creating another layer of government services here, so a lot needs to be answered before we all truly understand what this proposal really means.[/quote]

All important questions to work through. but you would not be paying taxes to the county.  The jurisdiction would no longer be part of the county, just like FCC is not part of Fairfax County.  [/quote]
