The two-time candidate for the Neabsco District School Board seat says he supports a combined $396 million park and road bond.
- He is he’s running for the Neabsco District School Board seat and would unseat Diane Raulston if he wins on November 5.
The Board of County Supervisors would ultimately borrow the cash for the bonds.
- It also selected the projects for the road and park bonds.
- If voters approve them, about $1 billion in new tax revenues would be needed to repay the debt.
- The school division would get 57% of that thanks to a revenue-sharing agreement between the Board of County Supervisors and the School Board.
“I appreciate many of the investment choices made in the projects chosen, as long as it’s equitable,” said George.
He’d like to see additional projects added to the bond list.
“I’d like to see improvements made to the fields at Leitch and Cloverdale Parks [in Dale City] for girls recreation,” George told us.
