In Maryland and Virginia, vote to build transit
Maryland and Virginia are very different places and not ones to cavalierly bunch together.

Arlington voters will pick a replacement for county board member Chris Zimmerman in a special election April 4 April 8. While the two candidates have a lot in common, their take on the Columbia Pike streetcar sets them apart. One calls it an important part of the county’s transportation network, while the other says it’s a waste of money. Democratic nominee Alan Howze,… Keep reading…
