Fairfax County, Virginias largest jurisdiction . A outdated Board of Supervisors form of government.Best suited to a small rural county in Virginia. No Mayor , No one in charge. A County Exec that has to dance to the B O S music of the day.
Keep sending money to Richmond to spend, Gratis Suckers
And Who does not want this ? . Certain bureaucrats in agencies that could be streamlines and consolidated. Lots of middle and upper management that over laps. And the politicians themselves as they would lose some of their power and might lose their seats.
Cities keep lots of taxes for themselves hotel/motel taxes, restaurant taxes, many more.
And there's that Mayor that Police Chiefs and Fire Chiefs and all the other Chiefs report to.. That can hire and fire them. And the people can hire and fire the Mayor as well.
But all said the millions saved would be squandered by the FCPS anyway
>Hmmmm. Not sure about this. FCPS has A LOT of people working at Fairfax Ridge and even in schools who call themselves teachers but never actually work with kids. They are classified teachers but are "CLT Facilitators" and "Testing Coordinators" and "STEM Teachers" and "Math Resource Teachers." A few of them work hard, but when you ask most of them to pull a small group on a regular basis you hear over and over again, "I train teachers! I don't work with kids!"
^^^ And that's the Tip of the Iceburg of FCPS Waste.
