York (I-At Large) said a hour-long meeting he attended the day before made it clear that the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority’s Board of Directors were no nearer compromising their support of an underground rail station at Dulles Airport, a key point of contention.
“I was a little taken a back that we were told by MWAA officials in this meetings that those of us who support an aerial station ought to be ashamed of ourselves and to remember that we are the richest per household income counties in the nation. And therefore there should be no problem building what they perceive as a world-class station at a world-class airport,” York said. “I’m just surprised that they just don’t get it.”
