[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s funny that Fairfax voted 70-30% in favor of “Yes” on the recent constitutional amendment but TJ only exists because a Republican-controlled Board of Supervisors thought it would help recruit defense contractors to Fairfax back in the Reagan era.

According to Wiki,

TJ's existence is due to the selection of fairfax by a Democratic governor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Robb

The country chairman was a republican but a democrat let them have TJ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Herrity

The corporate boosters for TJ were not generally defense contractors.

I don't know why people feel the need to make these things partisan.  Things weren't like that back then.
