Where can we find information about how much Fairfax County received? Judging by the map on the CTB website it seems the county isn't receiving it's fair share.
Its taxation without representation!
Where is our supervisor on this, is anyone representing Mason on our behalf to get these dollars and RBT in our District? This is ridiculous, all of the adjacent localities are getting these transit upgrades, while Mason falls behind.
