As a taxpayer in Loudoun County, I am outraged that the Board of Supervisors is even considering paying $1 billion to build two terminals and extend rail from the airport into Loudoun County. The costs for this proposed project should not be paid by taxpayers and toll-road users. It is a money black hole and it will compete with schools, roads and other worthwhile projects for taxpayer funding. Since the benefits of this project would be reaped by developers, unions, and a select few well-positioned businesses, they are more than welcome to foot the bill. I agree with Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli when he said this project is an “economic boondoggle”..."It's a rip-off...“ Any plan to go forward with this Rail-To-Dulles Bailout at the expense of Loudoun County should be dropped immediately by voting to “Opt Out”.

Enough with the tax hikes!! My property taxes are high enough already without paying for a train to nowhere. Stop wasting our money.
