NP here.  You could call that a cut in a proposed or requested budget, but if the budget is actually going up again it's disingenuous to claim it's a budget cut. [/quote]

Too many words and either way, it's still a cut to a BUDGET so not necessarily disingenuous. FCPS/Fairfax is not the only place that deals with cuts to proposed budgets. I'm sure there's a technical term for this.[/quote]

Yes, the technical term is "increase"[/quote]

+1.  Yes.  There are going to be lots of laid-off federal employees in NoVa soon, so don't come asking them to pay higher real estate taxes if you aren't even prepared to acknowledge that you want to increase the FCPS budget. [/quote]

Why? Trump is increasing his federal budget. See above.[/quote]

EPA employees are being asked to enter into VESPs and more is to come.  People locally are going to be stretched thin, and have little patience with budget increases that are called "cuts" because FCPS didn't get everything it asked for. [/quote]
