[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the town of Vienna should do this too. We already pay so much in town taxes. [/quote]

This is how local government is structured in every other state in which I’ve ever lived. It’s at the city or town level, not the county level.  You pay your property taxes to the town and that money stays in your town to support the local services - police and fire, schools, etc.  It does not support the big, bloated, inefficient bureaucracy that is Fairfax County.  [/quote]

Bloated and inefficient?  Do you have a complaint about police or fire?

It's just schools.  And the schools are good, so you want to make good better by ... something.  Staying open when there's snow on the ground in Chantilly?

It’s not just schools.  The attention the county devoted to the redevelopment of the central area is sporadic at best.  And why should someone in Annandale  or Mount Vernon necessarily be making zoning decisions for McLean or Great Falls?  They want more density and low-income housing in the northern part of the county but they invest the bare minimum in our schools.[/quote]

This is so true. Why should McLean school decisions be made by others who seem to be overly focused on equity.

Even before the pandemic, everything was about equity. Now even more so evidenced by all the changes for AAP and TJ. [/quote]

We’re in Great Falls, but I hope this goes forward.  FCPS needs to be shaken up.[/quote]
