Fairfax supervisors want spot at Dulles rail negotiation table

Some Fairfax County supervisors want a greater say in negotiations on a contract to design and build the extension of Metrorail to Dulles, arguing their input hasn’t matched their financial contribution.

“Right now, we’re going to be a major check-writer and we’re not at the negotiating table as a full partner,” said Lee District Supervisor Dana Kauffman. “It’s akin to watching a Redskins football game and then having the owner ask for a check for the team.”
