Where's the Leadership, Fairfax County?

I wrote before on the potential for tax increases in Fairfax County to compensate for a large budget deficit. Now, Brian Ledbetter at Snapped Shot unveils the true leadership in Fairfax County, rather the leadership you can believe in.

The County Board of Supervisors acknowledge that they are in a dire budget crisis, yet they have increased their budget by almost $210,000. You can see the evidence here on Pages 23 and 30. The amazing thing is that they have voted for their own pay raises, but they are talking about job cuts and still have a budget downfall. Hmm…interesting.

Maybe, it is time to cut back in troubled economic times. With many businesses cutting out bonuses and pay raises to help them stay afloat, Fairfax County could have done this to help lead by example. Maybe, this is a lesson that voters will learn in the next election.
