(REPOST FROM FEBRUARY 15 2013 REGARDING MY HONEST DIFFERENCES WITH CHAIRMAN YORK)
Liberals in the news media are more excited about Marco Rubio drinking a glass of water than they are about the lack of economic prosperity in America.
The Virginia Senate sent a bill allowing Loudoun to institute an INCOME TAX on Sterling residents but it was killed in the House of Delegates by Conservative Tim Hugo.
SB1313 would have allowed localities to raise taxes without consent of the people.
SB 1313 would have allowed permanent tax increases through the simple adoption of an ordinance by the local governing bodies.
I voted "no" to giving Loudoun the power to institute any "tax increases" with a referendum
and imposing an INCOME TAX on Sterling Americans.
WHO SUPPORTS IMPOSING MORE TAXES WITHOUT VOTER APPROVAL?
Scott York the chairman of the Board of Supervisors frequently embraces any form of additional tax revenue ("OPTIONS") and in particular endorsed Richmond granting (under the Dillon Rule) Loudoun Supervisors "additional options" by a formal vote and emphatically supported a meals tax every single time for referendum and voted in favor of a meals tax "authority" without referendum.
Voters in Sterling and Loudoun have defeated the meals tax three (3) times with 65 to 70 per cent opposition each time Chairman York and four other supervisors (not Eugene Delgaudio) voted to place it on referendum.

Here on the county front I will have to nominate Dimitri Kesari again next year.
I salute four supervisors who voted for Dimitri for the Water Board: myself, and Supervisors Volpe, Reid and Higgins voted for Dimitri. He needed five to be selected by the board. The Republican board selected no Republicans for the two spots.

Loudoun Board of Supervisors Considers
Master Plan for Sterling Area Public Facilities
And promises to keep volunteers whole!
In a public statement this past Tuesday before the board of supervisors and given to members of the public, I said
"The Sterling Safety Center was constructed in the '70s and renovated twenty years ago, but now a larger firehouse is now needed to accommodate the expanded role of the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company and Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad.
Staff and all stakeholders agree that "Option 1" is the way to go. This plan would provide for a new combined fire and rescue station for the volunteer squads, leave the old trees in the neighboring park intact, and renovate the community center next door with the existing voter-approved bond money from 2007.
This new Sterling Park Safety Center will cost the County around $10 million. The good news is that the volunteers have refrained from spending $3.6 million approved for renovations in 2007 so that it could be better spent on a new firehouse.
The management of the facility is the remaining issue, and I ask for language granting staff the power to work that out to keep the autonomy of the volunteers and their title authority with the new facility and the land."
The board of supervisors finance committee sent the Master Plan to the full board budget worksession to consider for the construction program and possible financing in the years ahead. And a motion was passed to recommend that the county staff work on keeping the integrity and autonomy of the number one volunteer first responders intact during this process.
