The Right Note is a biweekly opinion column. The views expressed are solely the author’s. The rotating writers of the Progressive Voice often make some interesting claims. In yesterday’s column, Craig Hines suggested that the results of the past two years in Richmond were “the will of voters.” While Mr. Hines did point out a handful of Democrats’ wish list item wins, he did leave off a few less popular outcomes. Kids shut out of schools for a year which ignored science and the best i...

The Right Note is a biweekly opinion column. The views expressed are solely the author’s. For the second year in a row, the County Board voted to adopt what looks like a pay raise for itself. On page 28 of the Pay Plan, the salaries for the five member board all jumped by 4.5% compared to the amount described on the county website.

The Right Note is a biweekly opinion column. The views expressed are solely the author’s. The County Board is scheduled to vote on the budget and tax rates later today. Sadly, the budget documents have not been posted to the county website as of the writing of this column. At best, the public will have just a handful of hours to review the final FY 2022 budget before it is adopted. If you do not believe mistakes can happen when a budget is adopted, an accidental pay raise for County Board me...

Last month I received the following advice from a fellow Republican, “our candidates should stop talking about taxes because it is not a winning issue in Arlington.” Understandably frustrated, this well-meaning advisor is not totally off base. Many Republicans in Arlington accept high property tax burden as one of the costs of living here and want to talk more about how it is spent. Others certainly...

The Right Note is a biweekly opinion column. The views expressed are solely the author’s. Days of breathless coverage about books written and illustrated half a century ago is what fills in the 24-hour news cycle when the current president will not take questions from the press and a former president no longer has access to Twitter. In case you missed it though, Arlington’s schools will be fully open to hybrid in-person learning by next week. While many parents are opting to keep their stu...

The Right Note is a biweekly opinion column. The views expressed are solely the author’s. On Saturday the County Board met and slashed parking permits for some residents while paving the way to move forward on the county and school budgets. The County Board resisted the urge to raise the real estate tax rate, but only because residential assessments went up by 5.6% over last year, which means the average Arlington homeowner will already pay $382 more in taxes this year in a addition to the n...
