Mount Vernon Town Hall Focuses On Revised Budget Proposal

MOUNT VERNON, VA — Mount Vernon District residents can learn about the revised Fairfax County budget and ask questions at a virtual town hall Monday, April 20 at 7 p.m.

Mount Vernon District Supervisor Dan Storck will host the virtual budget town hall with Fairfax County School Board Chair Karen Corbett Sanders, the county's chief financial officer Mondoro and school assistant superintendent for financial services Leigh Burden. The meeting will feature brief budget presentations followed by a question and answer session.

The program will be available through Facebook Live, Fairfax County's Channel 16, Cox Channel 1016, Verizon/Comcast Channel 16 and FCPS Channel 21. A recording will be available on Channel 16 video on demand and Storck's Facebook page after the program.

Questions can be sent in advance to MtVernon@fairfaxcounty.gov. Live questions can be asked by email, on the Facebook Live feed, tweet to @DanStorck or the call-in line at 703-324-1114.

The revised county budget accounts for anticipated revenue changes caused by the coronavirus crisis. County Executive Bryan Hill's revised budget proposal would cancel the proposed 3-cent real estate tax increase, keeping the rate at $1.15 per $100 of assessed value. The proposed budget also eliminates pay adjustments for county employees and the proposed 4 percent admissions tax on the sale of movie, theater and concert tickets. The Board of Supervisors is expected to adopt the budget on May 12. More information on the budget proposal and timeline is available at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/budget.
