[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All  this work to kick someone out who was  never going to run for re-election anyway.  She was the stand in when the first choice candidate stepped out to run for BOS at the last minute.  I doubt she intended to stay for more than one term. [/quote]

I think the backlash has been building for decades.  Years and years ago, Fairfax was a majority GOP county and slowly it changed to purple and now blue.  There are some that at angry and want things to go back to they way there were. However, the electorate does not favor them.  For some reason, they have moved to the fringe right instead of staking out the moderate middle. They have no chance going with the fringe right, they have a chance to get a few seats with a moderate middle approach- but they will never be majority in the foreseeable future.

Fairfax County has also grown from a suburban county to a huge urban county.  It is still run more like a suburban county and there will be more growing pains since it is hard to run things without someone at the top that can make fast decisions.  We have two Boards- BOS and the School Board, they have to figure out how to be able to make decisions faster as issues arise.  They can’t debate endlessly. [/quote]
