Editor: Thank you Supervisors Caleb Kershner and Matt LeTourneau for your votes against the expansive personnel requests for next year's budget.

DEI is gaining a deep foothold throughout county agencies with nothing to show for the expanded staffing other than policy gobbledygook. Merit is the benchmark.

The increase in taxpayer-funded personnel growth is outrageous.

I ask for full audit of all agencies. Loudoun is receiving $10,000 taxes per resident vs Fairfax at $5,000.

Why do we need so many more county employees? Perhaps Loudoun is creating a need because of the data center revenue stream.

Feeling like a sucker yet? All personnel added becomes permanent expenditures from our taxes.
