[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax County has proposed increases too for things like fire and rescue trucks equipment and facilities, additional police training, new road improvements. I don't hear you sounding off on these increases like you do with schools.[/quote]

Because they're asking for increases for these things.

FCPS is lying and saying they are needed to avoid "cuts".  It's not the money as much as the dishonesty.[/quote]

I don't get your logic. FCPS has to get their money from the BOS so they have to submit a proposed budget. They don't get to vote on their own budget so likely this is why they ask for more than what they typically end up with. Both the BOS and FCPS submit proposed budgets. In the County proposed budget there are proposed increases already and then they also list some wants that aren't funded, but there are increases and additional services listed in the original proposed budget with additional funding attached to them. Lately people have not been arguing against these increases. But when something is taken away from the proposed budget, it is still considered a cut to the proposed budget just like it is for FCPS. [b]What would you like to call a cut to a proposed budget instead?[/b] It has to work for the County and FCPS.[/quote]

How about a "smaller increase"?[/quote]
