Dranesville Supervisor Joan DuBois is hosting a district-wide town hall meeting at Cooper Middle School on Saturday, March 19, to discuss the 2006 Fairfax County Budget.
“I haven’t had a town meeting before, and I thought it would be a good idea,” DuBois said. “Town meetings allow lots of people to come and be informed about things that matter to them. The budget is something of wide interest.”
In addition to DuBois, who will host and open the event, which begins at 9 a.m. and will conclude around noon, County Executive Tony Griffin and Chief Financial Officer Ed Long will be on hand to answer questions and give a presentation on the budget and spending in Fairfax County.
“They will make their presentations, and then they will hold a question-and-answer session,” DuBois said.
In addition, representatives from the Park Authority, Community Recreation Services, Health Department, Revitalization, Family Services, Assessment and Taxation, Consumer Protection, Zoning Enforcement, Library, Fire and Rescue, Public Affairs and Police Departments will be at the meeting with tables set up to give out information and answer questions, she said.
Presentations will begin at 10 a.m. at the school, located at 977 Balls Hill Road in McLean.
