DOVE: Deterrence, Detection, Denial Are Three Best Keys To School Safety
Jeff Dove, Republican candidate for VA-11 just published an excellent OP-ED in The Republican Standard about school safety and issue that every Fairfax County family can related to:
Our nation is facing a disease that must be addressed swiftly and judiciously. As a father of a young daughter, it is heart-wrenching every time a new school shooting or a mass shooting occurs. Parents, children, and Americans should not have to worry about their safety or the safety of a loved one in their daily routine. Our leaders have failed us as Americans, and they have also failed their mission to protect their constituents.
This is not the time for partisan politics, political games, or electioneering. It is time for real …

Metro Rot Runs Deeper than Anyone Imagined
Fairfax residents struggle with poorly managed transportation every day, including the highly-subsidized Washington Metro Area Transportation Authority. (See the Fairfax County Taxpayer’s Alliance excellent 2017 presentation on safety and budget issues “Metrorail: Poster Child for Democrat Misrule.” )
Now we know that the problems are worse than anyone imagined. The Virginia news site Bacon’s Rebellion discusses the Inspector General’s recent report revealing falsified DC Metro inspection reports:
Washington Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld has earned plaudits for his forthright management style and the improvements he has instituted since taking over the troubled commuter bus and rail system in 2015. But the latest news raises questions whether he, or anyone, has the grit to take on a deeply corrupt…
