Find below some comments sparked by his House Committee press release yesterday on the CBO report.We here in Loudoun should be forcefully making the connection between what Metro 2 will would do to Loudouns fiscal stability against the backdrop of our Nations debt. This stuff is connected.<br /><br />States and local Governments should be getting as lean and as debt free as possible. Loudoun County Virginia, believing they operate in a vacuum is preparing to do the exact opposite. In other words, they are preparing to do what the Obama administration has been doing for the last three and a half years, spending , borrowing, and taxing. They are doing the exact opposite of what needs to be done in order to prepare for the austerity at our doorstep. The frustrating aspect of this is the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors is comprised of NINE Republicans, and ZERO Democrats.No one to blame here, Republicans own this lock, stock and barrel. To make matters even worse, the very project for which they are eager to dump Billions, was rejected by the Obama administration as a transportation project. In other words Loudoun County Elected Republicans are governing to the LEFT of the Obama administration ! This is fiscal irresponsibility at a whole new level in the face of what Rep. Paul Ryan and the CBO label as Danger Ahead. Downright reckless !<br /> <br />Contact every member of this board and tell them in no uncertain terms, they were elected as fiscal conservatives, and need to be getting Loudoun Counties fiscal house in order. If they can't make the connections, help them. If they don't see it, educate them. If they lack political will, hold their hands, or if need be, put your boot on their backside. Tell them that signing onto billions of dollars in the form of future obligations to Metro is counter to sound economic policy in these turbulent and uncertain times.G.Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996836753948428880noreply@blogger.com
