Governor Kaine in Loudoun next Tuesday
Tell him we need land use reform now!
Governor Kaine will hold a town hall meeting in Loudoun next Tuesday, March 28,
at 7:00 PM. The Governor is rallying support to raise our taxes for transportation
needs -- but critical land use reforms promised to us during his campaign have
not been passed by the General Assembly.

We need to get to the root
of the transportation problem: runaway growth. Without meaningful land use reform,
we'll just be digging ourselves deeper into the hole. We are facing massive
development proposals this year in Loudoun -- tell Governor Kaine we
need land use reform now.

Planning Commission Votes to Make Life Easier for Developers in Rural Loudoun
You
may have seen today's front page of the Washington Post, Loudoun
Reopens Door to Growth.
We are disappointed in
the Planning Commission's recommendations, which would make it much easier for
developers to get their projects approved in Loudoun's rural area.
The Board of Supervisors
will make the final decision on this matter. Final dates for the public
hearings on the rural zoning changes have not been scheduled, but we'll keep you
posted. In the meantime, urge
the Supervisors to make a decision in the best interest of all Loudoun residents.
If you care about our
taxes, traffic, and rural
economy.....please speak
up!
