Assessments Up Despite Inability to Sell Home

Editor,

Why is the City not being honest about their recent property reassessments? Have bricks and mortar really increased in value by 20-30 percent? I think not.

Issue May Be Not About Water, But Kool Aid

Editor,

I am constantly amazed at how and why this newspaper's editorial page has become an unabashed apologist for a City and its water utility that has knowingly pilfered millions of dollars (over $50 million) from its water customers located outside its City limits.

Says Decision on Church Not Civil, But Property Rights

Editor,

Your editorial concerning the recent court ruling clarifying the status of properties of The Falls Church flatly misstates the import of that decision. It was not a "civil rights" decision "affirming the right of a qualified priest to serve his church without regard to sexual orientation or fear of reprisal." (a reference to the ordination of Bishop Gene Robinson in the Diocese of New Hampshire in 2003).

Large Capacity Accounts for Low Farifax Water Rates

Editor,

In his guest commentary of January 5, "Falls Church Should Let the Water Business Go," Mr. Maller uses incorrect assumptions to reach flawed conclusions regarding Fairfax Water's wholesale customer contracts. As a non-profit public water authority, Fairfax Water is mandated by law to charge only for the actual cost of providing water service to our retail and wholesale customers, and that's what we do.

Selling F.C. Water System to Private Entity ‘Unlikely' Editor, In the article "Falls Church Officials Lash Out at ‘Illegal' Fairfax County Water Move", City Council members present their oft-repeated threat to sell the City's water system (presumably to a for-profit privately owned utility) if the water ordinance that the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors passed on December 6 withstands the City's challenges in the Virginia General Assembly and/or courts. I believe that such a sale is highly unlikely.
