[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the Fairfax county employee PP- I don't begrudge the teachers a cent- and agree they're underpaid, however the county has been robbing Peter to pay Paul and enough is enough. Pitting us against one another isnt helpful either.  County residents need to read the whole county budget to see what's happening. We are cutting libraries, elder care, etc. Where does it stop?

I'm asked to be happy with my 1.3 percent raise while the BOS gives themselves a 25% increase. School board also got a fat raise.  I'm not saying teachers, firefighters, etc don't deserve fair pay- but we ALL do. I provide a specialized skill set required by local,state, and fed law. My branch has sustained 60% cuts since 2007.

Do taxes need to go up? Are we wasteful in certain areas? Do we value libraries, parks? I'm serious- how do we get all of the services we want- including well paid teachers who perform at a high level?[/quote]

I would have been fine with a tax rate increase to $1.10. I also wouldn't mind a meals tax.[/quote]
