We concur with the sentiments of Supervisor Patrick Herrity (R-Springfield), who wondered aloud why Fairfax was raising its real estate tax rate when surrounding jurisdictions were lowering theirs, and we wonder why, to add insult to injury, a majority of his colleagues opted for this sham meals-tax panel which almost assuredly will reach the conclusion those supervisors want it to reach... In remarks during the budget process, Herrity made the same point we did a week before: If even Arlington elected officials could manage a cut in their tax rate this year, surely Fairfax officials could do the same. But they didn’t. Only Herrity, Linda Smyth (D-Providence) and John Cook (R-Braddock) voted in support of taxpayers.
