How does Fairfax County Plan to Spend Stimulus $$?

Brian over at Snapped Shot reports that Fairfax County is spending its stimulus money on yet another wasteful project, which is not bad considering that the county has a hugebudget deficit.

So, what is Fairfax County spending their money on this time? How about purchasing a vacant commercial retail space and planning on burning it down to create *tada* a commuter parking lot? That’s right, they plan to use the old Circuit City building, only to burn it down, and create yet another parking lot. This is considered wasteful in one particular way, as the Franconia/Springfield Metro Parking Lot is less than a mile away and the Old Keene Mill Road lot, which is up the street and is never filled to capacity.

One would think Fairfax County would spend their stimulus dollars on something useful, like possibly eliminating the $33 vehicle decal fee, which is proposed to be brought back to help address the deficits. This is just another example of your county government at work.
