I am happy to report that Channel 9/WUSA-TV is doing a story tonight on the food tax referendum here in Loudoun County. Peggy Fox and I spoke for a few minutes on camera at The Dock Restaurant in Lansdowne today (The Dock, by the way, is a proud founding member restaurant of our LCAFT organization -- and thank you to the owners, Rick and Scott, for helping out and being hosts for today's on-site media interviews).
The teaser that Peggy will use as the lead-in to her story is great for us and LCAFT...she notes that "there is a meals tax referendum in Loudoun county, and opposition is building". Hurrah!
I believe Peggy also spoke to Leesburg Town Council member (and LCAFT member) Ken Reid (thanks, Ken!) and to Supervisor Andrea McGimsey on the BoS. The story will air first at 5pm, and will be posted at http://www.wusa9.com/ (you also might want to check the "Virginia" tab too in case it ends up there). It might air at 6pm and 11pm as well. Happy viewing!

Mr. Graham,
I hope you will update this blog with the latest effort by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. They requested from the General Assembly to give them the authority to enact the Meals tax without requiring a voter referendum.
