Examiner Local Editorial: Fairfax supervisors plan to vote first, ask questions later, Washington Examiner, April 8, 2012

On Tuesday, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will decide whether to proceed with funding Phase II of the controversial Dulles Rail project. Board members will make this choice without the benefit of an independent, updated economic feasibility analysis. This is not the first time they have acted so irresponsibly. . .
. . .  Volunteer members of the Reston Citizens Association have done a tremendous public service by doing the supervisors' job for them. An April 2 analysis by RCA's Reston 2020 committee, using the same data provided by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's own consultant, CDM Smith, estimates that the number of drivers who will flee rising tolls on the Dulles Toll Road will dwarf the number of new rail riders when Phase I opens next year. . . .
