Readers of Sunday's Post will have learned that Sharon Bulova's (Fairfax County Board Chairperson) top priority for expanded transportation spending would be mowing the medians. According to Bulova, many Fairfax County residents mistakenly believe that the County, not the state, is responsible for maintaining the County's roads. Many residents, according to Bulova, call the County to complain about how poorly the state mows the grass on the medians of Fairfax's major roads. If Fairfax could get more money from the state, Bulova said, Fairfax could do a better job.
So much for reducing traffic congestion, using less gasoline, improving air quality, or avoiding global warming!
