Comments
People should listen to Dave re transportation. He warned you about the Silverline. It was 40% under projected use before covid. It's Virginia's biggest financial black hole.
This should be obvious, but as highways in Northern Virginia get more strained even with Covid. We need much more funding for our strained highways.
