You fucking peasants are STUPID! I know everything so just shut up and pay your taxes and be happy. We need more money for illegal immigrants and refugee Jihadi's so don't even think about questioning what we do or we'll call you xenophobes.
VOTE FOR GERRY CONNOLLY TOO!!

All members on the BOS will find themselves out of office if they override a negative referendum on the meals tax.

How many times do I have to tell you morons, The BOS does NOT want the Meals tax to pass.
They are using the meals tax to set up a big real estate tax hike.
That's where the money is, not a few extra cents on your Big Mac.

Pat Herrity writes yesterday:
I have been opposed to the meals tax from the start, but what has concerned me most over the last several months has been the tactics used to try to convince our residents to vote for it and the county’s failure to deal with its spending problems. I would like to offer some clarity on these points and why I am against the meals tax.
The proponents of the meals tax insist the tax is for teachers’ salaries and tax relief. In fact, the ballot language referencing schools and tax relief was selected because it was the language that passed in other counties in Virginia and according to one supervisor “we need to use the language that will get it passed.” In reality, the Board of Supervisors will decide in April during the budget process how much funding goes to schools and then the School Board will decide how much funding goes to teacher raises and class size reductions. Despite the Board of Supervisors fully funding the School Board’s funding request last year, the funds were not focused on fixing our teacher salary issues.

Pat Herrity seems like one of the few people in Fairfax with common sense. Great spot on points from someone directly involved in the process.

If the meals tax passes, nothing prevents property taxes from going up.
Vote NO on the meals tax!
