Supervisor McKay, Lee District School Board Rep Tammy Kaufax will host the meeting in Franconia.
Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay, Lee District School Board Representative Tammy Kaufax, and county and school budget staff will host a presentation and Q and A session on the proposed Fairfax County budget Wednesday night. "Over the past decade we’ve worked hard at diversifying our economy but between 10 and 20 percent of our local economy is related to defense or federal contracting to the tune of about $25 billion," McKay said in an email sent to constituents on Monday. "With a substantial amount of the county’s workforce involved in some way with what happens on the federal side, that’s a lot of potential drop in retail sales, car purchases, home sales, and the like."

Supervisor McKay says Fairfax County will 'weather the storm' and people wouldn't tolerate this kind of indecision on a local level.
Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay weighed in on sequestration and how it will affect his district. Like many, McKay says Congress' indecision is unacceptable. "On the fact that they can't make a decision, it's absurd. It's ridiculous, and if we acted that way at a local government level people wouldn't tolerate it and they shouldn't tolerate it," McKay said. "It's kind of an embarrassment to the country that people with different minds can't sit down together and come up with an agreement. We do it every day in Fairfax County, and it's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's what people expect." President Obama dropped by Virginia on Tuesday, railed against Congress for this "manufactured crisis" -- this time sequestration 2013 -- …

With third straight year of zero funding for program, cyclists say some transportation improvements are threatened; county to look toward Arlington for model
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors formally adopted a $6.7 billion budget Tuesday morning, a spending plan which put aside more money for human services, schools and employee pay but, for the third consecutive year, not bicycle programs.

The county's formal bike program was launched in 2006 as the Comprehensive Bicycle Initiative. Early projects included developing the county's first bike route map, retrofitting connector buses, and adding bike racks to county park and ride lots. The program received…
