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”

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.
