Loudoun County government offices will be closed Monday, February 8, 2010, due to the effects of the record-setting snowstorm that struck our region this weekend. However, the Loudoun County Administrator’s budget presentation and the Board of Supervisors Public Hearing will go on as scheduled.
County Administrator Tim Hemstreet is scheduled to present his proposed FY 2011 budget at 4:00 p.m., in the Board Room of the Loudoun County Government Center, 1 Harrison Street, S.E. in Leesburg. The Board’s monthly public hearing is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the same location.
This is a chance for people to let the current BOS know just how popular the proposed in property taxes will be. This is a chance to let the BOS know that increasing the size of the school budget when everyone else has to face a decrease in lifestyle is unacceptable. Go and let your voice be heard.
John Murtha dies.

Sorry OT.
Also, Loudoun County Schools closed until next Tuesday–so more on topic, but they have a meeting when the whole region is shut down for a week? when people cannot get out of their driveways, before the secondary roads have been plowed… wrong. Anyone who can get there, should go and tell them…can’t believe they are having a meeting tonight…
sue,
it is precisely for the reason you cited. They are not in the mood for nice weather. It means more of the great unwashed will show up. Most annoying.
I was at the budget presentation. A tax rate of $1.40 was proposed. The public hearing was not a general public comment period, but a hearing on specific zoning matters. Budget input sessions are coming later in the month. Get your asses out and start writing to the supervisors!
York mentioned McDonnell had decided to reverse the LCI freeze, which will give the county up to an extra $34 million in new revenue. Good news, if it goes toward lowering the tax rate and not for a fatter budget.
HFTB, of course it will go for a fatter budget unless we mount a real-life tax revolt. Hatrick and his minions on the School Board will use this as an excuse to keep their bloated budget right where it is.
