Dear Neighbor, 

If you have been to one of my Town Halls, I tend to start with a reference to the “Where It Goes” budget pie chart (Page 29) that shows how our County spends the money its general fund. The biggest single line item is a transfer to our school system (51.4%), and after that, the “County-side” of the budget is primarily spent on (1) public safety (12.2%), (2) health and welfare (10.9%), and (3) nondepartmental fringe benefits (10.6%). Much of the rest of the budget goes to various other needs related to building a place, i.e. Community Development and Transportation (3.4%), Parks and Libraries (1.3%), and Public Works (1.6%). In other words, some of the key functions of the County government include providing for the education of kids, keeping people safe, promoting public health, and developing community. This newsletter reflects the diversity of my work this past week, and ties directly back to those core functions of local government. 

ICE. Like many of you, even though I try to stay focused locally, it’s been impossible to ignore what ICE and CBP have been doing in Minneapolis in particular, and it’s important to understand how that is affecting our community and what we are doing in response. On Saturday night, I put out a video that you can watch here addressing the murder of VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti. ICE is out of control, whether it’s killing American citizens or using five-year old children as bait. As Chief Judge Patrick Schlitz pointed out in an order yesterday, “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.” Its documented tactics go well beyond “immigration enforcement,” actively trample on basic Constitutional protections, and run completely contrary to public safety. There are far too many instances caught on camera and/or described by witnesses in which ICE agents have acted in a shocking manner, whether due to poor training or by design. (And that’s just what we have on camera, which, as we know, has not prevented the Administration from pushing lies about what we have seen.) What ICE has been doing in Minneapolis has been described as inflicting generational trauma on the children of that community. While we have not yet had the same extent of this activity here, I have spoken with Dranesville District school principals and family liaisons about what has already occurred and what could occur in the future who express the same concerns about the effects on their students and families. 

As I explained in my video, I think that Fairfax County needs to continue to be prepared for ICE; promoting public safety demands it. In a past newsletter, I already discussed the importance of our Trust Policy and how our police do not take part in immigration enforcement. As a first order of business going forward, I know that there are a number of important bills being carried right now in Richmond to rein in ICE abuses, and I think that Fairfax County should monitor, work on, and find ways to support these bills. Three in particular have been patroned by Senator Saddam Salim, who represents part of the Dranesville District, and co-patroned by our other Senator, Jennifer Boysko. I have asked that SB351 (prohibiting certain civil arrests at courthouses), SB352 (restricting the wearing of facial coverings), and SB782 (limiting/restricting local police involvement in immigration enforcement) be discussed at an upcoming Legislative Committee meeting. To quote another one of our representatives, Delegate Marcus Simon, “We can enforce the law and respect the Constitution. We [can] hold criminals accountable without terrorizing communities.” I support bills to rein in an agency that simply isn’t doing so. 

Second, I think it is very important that we continue to engage with our law enforcement partners on contingency planning if anything like what is happening in Minneapolis were to happen here. I have already had such conversations with our Chief of Police and our Commonwealth’s Attorney, and I support efforts to promote safety and accountability. 

Third, I think Fairfax County should take steps to ensure that no current officers of these agencies that are so frequently acting unlawfully can or will ever be a part of our police force. I say this as someone who himself worked at the Department of Homeland Security and at times worked with and represented ICE and CBP. Enough is enough. The murder of Alex Pretti was sickening in its own right; the fact that in that moment some federal agents clapped in response, hid their faces and fled like cowards, and failed to provide medical care, instead, according to a witness, counting up the bullet holes (which may have potentially been for bragging rights), is also nauseating. Our public safety agencies cannot and must not operate in such a manner, and this runs contrary to the public safety culture that we have worked to create here in Fairfax County, which continues to be the safest jurisdiction of its size in the country.  

Finally, as I promised to on Saturday night, I have sent messages to both our U.S. Senators to oppose DHS funding bills and shared my belief that ICE needs to be torn down root and branch. I further stand with the Members of Congress representing the Dranesville District, my former colleague James Walkinshaw and Don Beyer, in their efforts as well. Congressman Walkinshaw’s work on the Homeland Security Committee has been particularly important. 

I am fully cognizant of the fact that in the grand scheme of things, I’m just a humble County Supervisor here, but I also swore an oath to the Constitution, public safety is squarely within my wheelhouse, and I’m always going to do what I can to protect and support this community. This job demands nothing less.

SNOW. Our office has been busy fielding your calls this week and doing our best to get your information to VDOT. In Fairfax County, VDOT is responsible for maintaining our roads and, by extension, VDOT handles snow removal. Based on the volume of calls we received this week, our best guess is that this year’s response was better than during last year’s storm, but there is still room for improvement. In particular, we know that it took too long to get to some cul de sacs and other side streets. We’re going to continue talking to VDOT about what to do to improve in the future. 

Because I often get asked why Fairfax County does not maintain its own roads and leaves snow removal up to VDOT, I intend to ask budget questions to that effect as a part of this year’s upcoming budget cycle. Almost all counties in the Commonwealth, with the notable exceptions of neighboring Arlington and Henrico, leave road maintenance up to VDOT. My understanding is that every time this issue has been studied, the potential cost of “taking over our roads” is astronomical, even accounting for the funds that Richmond sends to the two outlier jurisdictions, but this year I intend to ask for a real figure and analysis. What’s more, I also will ask for an analysis of the fiscal impact of County-run snow removal operations. We should fully understand the tradeoffs at play here.  

All that being said, we do hope, like our Fire and Rescue Department in this video, you were able to have a *little* fun out there!

VDOT. Before the snow arrived, I was already focused on VDOT, this time from a community development standpoint. I worked with Delegate Rip Sullivan who represents much of the Dranesville District on HB883, a “study bill” which would have directed the Secretary of Transportation to examine various VDOT processes and report back to the General Assembly regarding opportunities to cut red tape and streamline things to promote housing affordability and fiscal stewardship. Among other things, the bill asked VDOT to consider and explain whether it could meet some of the same timelines the General Assembly has imposed on localities with respect to development reviews.  

As I explained in written testimony in support of the bill: 

VDOT plays an important and central role in nearly every housing or infrastructure development. Too often, we have seen that VDOT processes can be long and inconsistent, leading to cost overruns and delays for private and public entities involved in the planning and development of our community. Many members of the General Assembly and indeed the Governor herself have expressed a desire to cut more red tape with respect to such processes and make it easier to build much needed and necessary housing throughout the Commonwealth to tackle our affordability issues. We cannot and will not succeed in doing that without ensuring that VDOT comments and VDOT input in the development process are streamlined and consistent. 

I also testified virtually at a Subcommittee Hearing in support of the Bill as you can watch here. 

Unfortunately, the Subcommittee chose not to move forward with the Bill, opting instead to have the Speaker of the House send a letter making the same suggestions and requests of the VDOT Secretary given that Governor Spanberger’s Executive Order on Housing already contains similar directives. In my testimony, I urged that any such letter, if that were the path chosen, include a clear appeal and deadlines for reporting back to the General Assembly in some form, and I am pleased to say that the Subcommittee Chair agreed to honor my request.  

In addition, building upon this effort, Chairman McKay has committed to sending a similar letter on behalf of the Board of Supervisors, and we will vote to do so at our Board Meeting next week. My hope is that the new Secretary will see this as an opportunity, not just because it will help with the important goal of providing more housing and tackling affordability through supply, but because it will help VDOT deliver its own road and infrastructure projects more effectively. We need more housing; we also need more sidewalks and crosswalks!

CASINO. A final parting thought at the end of an already too long newsletter regarding the silly casino legislation that continues to move through the Virginia Senate. Can’t say I’m surprised given that the same piece of highly flawed and objectionable legislation that has not changed one bit passed the Virginia Senate last year. Sadly, casino proponents continue to trot out highly laughable fake numbers to try to sell their plan and still poll after poll rejects their game (they can’t rig this one!). My favorite laugher is the claim is that a single Tysons casino could generate enough tax revenue to cut your real estate bill by 10% – folks, if you do the math backwards from the tax rate proposed in the bill, that casino would need to pull in roughly $4.5 billion in gaming revenue a year (or that of about four and a half MGM Grand National Harbors). Ha! Ain’t gonna happen, folks! 

The Board of Supervisors is still a no, and that’s all you need to know. 

If you’re still reading, thanks for making it this far! Read on for more happenings around the Dranesville District this week.

All the best,

FCPS Integration and Desegregation History Presentation at Herndon Fortnightly Library

Herndon Community Center Open House

Last week, DC Water teams and contractors identified and began working to contain a sanitary spill caused by a break in the Potomac Interceptor (PI), located in Montgomery County along Clara Barton Parkway near the I- 495 interchange and the C&O National Historical Park. The break has occurred downstream of the Corbalis intake for Fairfax Water, so there is no impact to Fairfax County’s drinking supply. The PI conveys approximately 19% of the County’s wastewater to DC Water's treatment facility at Blue Plains.

Since the collapse was discovered, DC Water teams have been working to contain overflows, install bypass pumping, and perform excavation work to assess the damaged infrastructure. According to DC Water, “the full extent of the pipe damage has not yet been determined, and a definitive repair timeline cannot be established until the damaged section and surrounding conditions are fully inspected. Repairing the 72-inch diameter interceptor will be complex given the volume of wastewater conveyed. Engineers are exploring whether approximately 50 feet of 72-inch pipe from a recently completed upstream project can be used for the repair, which could potentially expedite restoration”.

Physical access restrictions and warning signage remain in place in the area, and the public is advised to avoid contact with sewer overflows and keep pets away from affected areas.

If you have any questions or need additional information contact DC Water’s Customer Care team at (202) 354-3600 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or the 24-Hour Command Center at (202) 612-3400 or visit the DC Water website here.

Potential updates to the County’s zoning regulations for accessory living units (ALUs) are under consideration, and the community is invited to weigh in through an online survey. ALUs are a secondary dwelling area of a single-family detached residence, often known as in-law suites, basement apartments or guest houses. The Zoning Ordinance contains requirements for ALUs, which include limitations to size, occupancy, entrances, parking and more. Some of these requirements could be updated through an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The community survey offers County residents an opportunity to submit feedback on potential changes for ALU regulations, which County staff will use alongside their analysis to determine next steps. The survey will be open through February 28.
