Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor: I attended the Park View HS construction meeting on September 6. The community was out in force and was very vocal about their concerns with the new construction. The main concerns centered around Sterling getting what they rightfully deserve for their children after years of neglect from the school board and LCPS. It…
Dear Editor: There’s a unique charm and tranquility to Loudoun County. For many of us – whether we wereborn here or moved here later in life – Loudoun offers a stark difference between theurbanization of Washington and its immediate suburbs. We chose this area for its rurallandscapes, farming, and unique developments. Our way of life…

These politicians offer only one solution to their manufactured revenue problem: raising water and sewer fees, even when citizens are already curtailing their usage. Additionally, they prefer burdening our citizens with…
