| Council's
Vote to Support Tax 'Outrageous' Decision |
|
To the editor:
|
| I find it breathtakingly outrageous and infuriating that
the Herndon Town Council, after pushing through every large
density development they can on Herndon's citizens, would
vote in support of raising our taxes to pay for our now inadequate
roads, as reported in Friday's edition of The Observer. |
| Beyond that, with the state in such dire financial trouble
does anyone really think that if this tax passes and the money
starts to flow from it that Northern Virginia's current allotment
of tax revenue for roads will not be cut by the state? |
| I've always enjoyed Herndon's status as an independent town
exemplified by having our own police department, etc. |
| But with a council like ours in place, maybe we need to
throw ourselves on the mercy of the state to take us back
as an unincorporated village, if that is the correct term,
if that will eliminate our anti quality-of-life town council. |
