from WMAL this a.m. Tom Davis [former Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Congressman, now Rector and Professor at George Mason], on the proposed Meals Tax:
"I'm afraid if you give these folks (FCPS School Board) too much money they're going to start doing some goofy things, instead of just educating kids. I'm really very anxious about giving the School Board more money sometimes - you're going to see political correctness run amok; so I'm going to vote against the Meals Tax this time."
As an example of the "goofy things" he mentioned that the School Board has hired a consultant at ~$200,000 to look at changing the name of JEB Stuart High School, even though the students and community have registered their opinion that the name should not be changed.
