I just wanted to re-post the link to the message about signing up for "savehov.org" that was posted several weeks ago. (see the message above by SHIRONS) The website is
www.savehov.org It is likely that many folks did not catch it the first time. One needs to go to the site and provide name and address info (go to the "member login" area) to become a "member" of the savehov organization. Do it and help save HOV! Bob |

navigate to budget http://www.picosearch.com/cgi-bin/ts.pl Billion dollar budget for Washington METRO in 2006. Does a resident of Fairfax County actually pay $78 per year in taxes for METRO operations? Do people from the rest of the United States actually pay that much for METRO? Perhaps the people in flyover areas should reevaluate the wisdom of letting the country be governed by anyone NEAR the beltway. At least fiscally. How do METRO costs compare to slugging? METRO claims $0.72 operating subsidy per passenger. Possibly slugs should be paid $0.50 per ride? Maybe not in hard cash, but in better parking at both ends of the commute. But then slugs don't have capital costs. dickboyd@aol.com |

Just got a long letter from my county (Prince William) supervisor giving the agenda of his upcoming Town Hall Meeting on Monday, 7 Feb. at 7:00pm. One of the topics is the infamous HOT lanes. I strongly suggest that all those interested to show up to voice our opinions and concerns. It is being held at the Lake Ridge Baptist Church. I don't know where that is but the phone number to Corey Stewart's office is 792-4643 to inquire. Now is the time to show a presence.

Which supervisor? Corey Stewart? I live in the jurisdiction, so to speak, of Maureen Caddigan. Are we allowed to come if we are from another district? I mean, it's still my county. I understand he's already an opponent of Toll Roads.
(Remember people, they are TOLL ROADS. There will be no High Occupancy aspect to them, so quit calling them HO-anything!) |

SpongeBob, it's a free country and county so bring yourself over and soak up any and all of the current info that you can. Yes, he's our new supervisor that replaced Ruth Griggs who is studying to become a lawyer and he is against HOT lanes and excessive development.
You'll have to sit through discussions of our pressing matters in this district but maybe we can get him to address this topic first so you and others, not in the district, can slip out the door when that topic is over. |

I think I'll take a pass on this meeting because Corey is already one of the converted. Take me to the True Heathens that I may convince them of the evils of Toll Roads!
I look forward to meeting Corey at the next meeting the SAVEHOV citizen's group holds. |

For those interested in the Town Hall meeting hosted by Supervisor Corey Stewart it is at the Lake Ridge Baptist Church located at 12450 Clipper Dr. on the corner of Mariner Dr. on the left, up a small hill. It is this Monday, 7 Feb. at 7:00 pm.
I spoke to one of his staff this morning and asked him to have Mr. Stewart raise the HOT lanes topic first, if possible, in case others want to leave after that topic. If you come, ask if that will happen to gage how long the wait will be. Other topics will be discussed that pertain to his district only. |
