[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will pay higher taxes if it means bringing control of our schools back to McLean and keeping said tax dollars here in McLean![/quote]

Tax dollars do stay in McLean.  Sheesh.  [/quote]

Umm, no, they don’t.  The high property taxes that I pay here in McLean get sent all over the county and are subsidizing other locales.  [/quote]

Doesn't every homeowner pay the same rate?[/quote]

Yes.  Now look at the median assessed values in different areas and you'll know who is writing the larger checks.

But this isn't being driven by people complaining against the idea of revenue-sharing.  It's being driven by people fed up with the poor level of services and the failure of county bodies like FCPS to discharge basic responsibilities over extended periods. [/quote]

Right.  That's why McLean HS is one of the best high schools in the state.  Because of poor services and lack of county services.

No, it’s a top school in spite of the ineptitude of the school board and bloated County government. [b]It’s a success because of the demographics, level of education, and wealth of the local population.[/b] [/quote]

Exactly.  The same factors that are leading people who live there now to say "enough is enough."[/quote]
