Virginia dad who cares about innovative transportation solutions, data-driven decisions, public policy that gives everyone a shot, and electing leaders who make our world a better place to live
Kudos to the Democratic majority on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors for making the tough choices amidst severe revenue challenges and competing demands, and preparing a budget that -- among other things -- increases the allocation to the school system by $119M.

PPP poll: Only 19% in FFX County support Tysons casino.

Let's end the ridiculous rhetoric from pro-casino folks that opponents are just “those people” up in “that part of the county”

This “us vs. them” mindset is divisive and contrary to who we are as FC residents.

Thank you Supervisor Jimmy Bierman for your courageous leadership, standing up to the deep-pocketed developer this legislation is designed to enrich and the Senators who quickly took $10K each from that developer prior to voting for it.

Any of us who followed this topic 4 years ago saw this coming. USPS could have chosen from many cutting-edge EV innovators to produce a delivery truck, but for some bizarre reason did a prescriptive spec with a defense contractor. That paradigm needs to change.

The Postal Service’s electric mail trucks are way behind schedule
Defense contractor Oshkosh had only delivered 93 trucks by November — compared to 3,000 expected by now. The delays put Biden’s climate goals at risk.
