Meals Tax: Vote Of No Confidence For FCPS?

I take the failure of the meals tax as a vote of no confidnece for FCPS. For all they did, the negative campaign, sending notes home with kids and so on, it still failed.

In particular, this reprsents a serious setback for the career of Ryan McElveen.

It will not be taken that way by FCPS or the BOS.

The schools will punish the children over this.

Look for teachers "working to rule" by not writing college recommendations, etc.

Threats to cut band will resume.

I demand my tax money back for their wasted^B^B^B^B^B^Beffort.

When do we get to vote in a new board that knows how to budget?

Three years, but if you want progress you need to start now.

Anyone who's ever been to the Fairfax County government Taj Mahal knows there's tremendous waste in Fairfax, and no need for tax increases. What Fairfax needs is to elect responsible adults, not spend-happy libs.

Look at who put their support behind the meals tax:

Karen Garza

Ken Plum

Marcus Simon

Sharon Bulova

John Foust

Garza is as good as gone, the rest need to go. What a farce this turned out to have been.

What makes you think they'll get voted out? They had already shown they were incompetent before this year's election and most of them were re-elected.

The school board does not understand that if they had any budget credibility it might have passed.

Their strategies for getting themselves elected do not carry to policy initiatives.
