[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As Elaine Tholen continues to look out only after the interests of her Great Falls neighbors, leaving McLean HS ridiculously overcrowded, it's no surprise the McLean Citizens Association continues to poke at the issue of incorporating as a separate city.

McLean won't be able to separate from the county, but they should separate Tholen from her seat on the School Board. [/quote]

Worth noting that the incorporation question has almost nothing to do with enrollment at McLean HS (which isn't even mentioned in the article).  [/quote]

"The resulting entity either would need to provide municipal services – [b]schools[/b], police, fire and rescue, public works, parks and recreation, roads, courts, planning and zoning, etc. – or contract to do so with a nearby jurisdiction, such as Fairfax County."

"Board member David Pritchett said cost should not be the only factor, and affluent McLean could afford to spend more to [b]reduce class sizes."[/b]

"By having its own education system, [b]McLean would be able to respond to school-facilities needs more quickly[/b], said board member Joanne Sears, who added [b]McLean High School will not be spruced up again until 2042.[/b][/quote]

It would be worthwhile to better understand the history of the incorporation issue before posting random quotes that you think support your position.[/quote]
