So full of ironies . . .
The Washington Post editorializes like a hand-wringing nanny that budget shortfalls ("crisis") in Fairfax "shouldn't be a political tug of war," now that Connolly's escaped and taken up a new seat in the House.
"Fairfax officials announced last week that the county faces an estimated $650 million shortfall in a $3.4 billion budget for fiscal 2010. The gap, more than $200 million higher than estimates in July, is mostly attributable to plummeting housing values; property assessments have fallen 14 percent since the start of the year."I'm guessing they'll just raise the property tax rate. It's obvious they've got little to lose.

Of course! Absolutely nothing to lose by raising the rate enough that we will all pay higher property taxes. They know that democrats will be re elected, regardless. So they have nothing to lose.
Unfortunately, republicans have lost all credibility when it comes to government budgets and fiscal responsibility.
