Washington Post Ignores Fairfax County
The Washington Post is doing a superb job exposing sweetheart deals between developers/landowners and government officials in Loudoun County. But how come the Post is silent as to those same relationships and deals in Fairfax County?
How much money has West Group and other big Tysons Corner landowners given Governor Tim Kaine & BoS Chairman Gerry Connolly, both of whom support the Silver Line boondoggle that will cost taxpayers and Dulles Toll Road users billions and won't improve traffic congestion one bit? In fact, if the Silver Line triggers massive rezoning, we could see 500,000 to 600,000 additional vehicle trips daily. I suspect that the political party labels of the main players has a lot to do with the different reporting standards.
GOP corruption is bad; Democratic corruption is hidden. That's the journalism standards of the Post. Thank goodness for small local newspapers.
