I had to double and triple check the story because I didn’t believe it when I first saw it.

You might be thinking: Surely the county supervisors of the uber-wealthy and progressive Fairfax County aren’t really so foolish that they’re going to spend the money on a monstrosity like this?

And surely if they do, they’ll handle fundraising for it like other communities that build memorials – with outside donations – rather than forcing citizens to fund it.

Surely they wouldn’t burden taxpayers like that, right?

Oh, but they are … and it gets much worse.

Not only are taxpayers going to be forced to pay for Board Chair Jeff McKay’s idiotic idea, they are going to have to do so even as McKay and his colleagues have driven the county into a $300 million deficit.

Behold, America. This is the HEIGHT of progressive financial stewardship:

Fairfax County is forecasting a nearly $300 million budget shortfall for 2026, an issue the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will have to address early this year.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors is exploring implementing a food tax – which has been rejected by Fairfax County voters twice.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors may look at raising residential property taxes again. In recent years, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has raised property taxes on homeowners despite residents asking the elected officials to stop raising their taxes because the cost of living in Fairfax County is already too high for many residents.

And how, pray tell, did things get so bad in such a rich county, you ask? Well, this sure hasn’t helped…

In the past, residents have also raised concerns that the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors gave themselves massive raises despite their positions being part-time.

In 2023, McKay voted to give himself a nearly $40,000 raise bringing his salary compensation to $138,283. Other Fairfax County Supervisors made $95,000 a year and they voted to increase their salary to $123,283 in 2023.

McKay also gave himself a county-owned car to drive, becoming the first Chairman in the county to do so. As a result, he doesn’t have to pay car taxes on the county car he drives even though he sets the car tax rate for everyone else in the county.

I mean, you can’t expect these government overlords to wreck the economy and raise the cost of living on citizens for free, can you? They need to be well compensated for the time they put into that.

Can you imagine – a yearly salary of nearly $140,000 for a PART-time job? Not to mention the free car?

You get what you vote for, and this is what the progressive citizens of Fairfax county voted for, so it’s hard to feel too badly for them. Plus, they’ve got a super cool monument coming soon that I’m sure will generate plenty of tourism dollars to help.
