Letter: How To Fix Recycling?
Letter to the Editor
As a Fairfax County resident who considers herself a dedicated recycler, I was shocked and extremely disappointed to learn that Fairfax County does not, in fact, recycle the glass it collects.
Letter: Price of Borrowing
Letter to the Editor
Whether these letter writers realize it or not, when they proudly point to Alexandria’s municipal bond rating, they haven’t read the fine print or connected the dots.
Letter: Term Limits
Letter to the Editor
Mayor Euille's petulant reaction to being defeated in the Democratic mayoral primary for a fifth term — by musing about a "write in" campaign — highlights the need for term limiting the offices of mayor and City Council.
Letter: Promote Freedom
Letter to the Editor
Reflecting on celebrating our nation’s independence, the question comes to mind: are we truly free?
Letter: Time To Rename Highway
Letter to the Editor
Regarding the unease over the Appomattox statue, the display of the Confederate flag on Lee-Jackson day, and the Jefferson Davis highway: to me, by far the most offensive, and indefensible, is the last.
Letter: Walker Road ‘After’
Letter to the Editor
I was pleased to see that the traffic lanes that were taken away from Walker Road at Georgetown Pike are being put to good use. So far I've seen the pedestrian crossing and single traffic lane blocked with a tanker truck filling up with water at the fire hydrant, and lawn-service trucks & trailers. Political protest is a bit ironic because it was probably $1M in "stimulus" funding that was used to reduce the number of lanes on Walker.

To the Editor: With reference to the recent article about the Langley girlsn basketball team (“Langley Girls’ Basketball Team Has Bright Future,” Connection, March 4-10, 2015) I would like to point out that Lizzy Shamloo from Langley high school also received First team all region honors from the Northern Virginia Women’s basketball league.

Letter: Encouraging Solar Power
Letter to the Editor
The recent article on solar power and its efficiency, "Making Power While the Sun Shines," [Arlington Connection, June 10] proved incredibly provocative and should lead to further expansion of solar development across the state of Virginia.
Letter: ‘The Wizard’ 114 Years Old
Letter to the Editor
I enjoyed the article on the Claude Moore Farm bookshop very much (“The Bookshop Worth Exploring,” McLean Connection, September 3-9, 2014).
Letter: Hidden Record
Letter to the Editor
The recent revelations of Barbara Comstock’s failure to disclose her paid lobbyist role and income from out-of-state special interest groups are no surprise. Ms. Comstock was elected and paid to be a representative of Northern Virginians.
Letter to the Editor: Sharing about Bullying
To The Editor: Often one may have a brief conversation with his or her neighbors and sometimes the conversation leaves one with a question of what to do. And that’s an issue I find myself facing.
Letter to the Editor: Outstanding Leadership
I was thrilled to learn that U.S. Rep. Don Beyer will be the next to join the growing ranks of climate advocates in the Climate Solutions Caucus.
Letter to the Editor: Economic Oppoortunities
When Bob McDonnell was Governor, he named his Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling “Chief Jobs Creation Officer.”
Letter to the Editor
Christopher Matthey
I am a Boy Scout with troop 1145 and I believe we should leave trees up and not cut them down. We have enough stores and buildings in our area so it would be nice to leave the trees be.
