[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]One of the major issues here is voting. There are so many people in Fairfax County that don't have kids or don't have kids in school/they're elderly. My parents are included in this and they vote every election. It sucks but they could care less about the schools and that's mainly because of awareness. They don't have children in school and same with their friends. I think if campaigns targeted this demographic more then you'd see better outcomes. [/quote] And, they don't pay attention to School Board. Many are just anti-Trump and voted straight Dem because of that. I'd be willing to bet that most did not know the policies of the [b]Dem candidate for Commonwealth Attorney,[/b] as well as those of SB members. Do they know that Abrar is in favor of removing "the cream of the crop" from Langley? Getting rid of pupil placement for IB or AP because it is racist?[/quote] Descano was a tax attorney and then worked for an autism advocacy organization. He has not been in the legal profession very long and I believe never tried a case in any criminal court. I assume he was the most liberal on immigration of any attorney the FCDC could find to run. The FCDC created this which if you compared the legal profession specialties you had 1 candidate you'd not hire as a defense attorney in a high level criminal case v 1 you'd hire in a flash. It's like hiring a team of medical pros specializing in family practice internal medicine v high level oncologists. Or a general practitioner dentist to do reconstructive surgery on your jaw. We'd rather the entire county go AP. One Fairfax is only applied where and when select politicians choose to apply it. After watching school and board of supervisor meetings I've determined that most members are irrelevant and the county is run by the Lee and Mount Vernon Districts on both boards. Will be more so now that McKay is chair. Why do 8 BOS and 11 school board members not speak up for their constituents on school facility funding and usage or on county inequitable funding /taxation is a real mystery. It's not even a partisan issue since most of the elected people have been Democrats. [/quote]
