"Rail to Dulles is the single most important transportation investment that we can make in Northern Virginia," said Gerald E. Connolly (D), chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

Then why doesn't the Northern VA/Washington DC governments/populations pay for it themselves? I mean, it must be going to pay for itself, no? After it's built with federal tax dollars (and I'm to the tune of six-figures/yr), if it turns a profit, who gets the proceeds?

I always wondered why the Metro didn’t go to Dulles. I was guessing it was because it made too much sense or there’s wasn’t enough graft to be had.

Oh great, my tax dollars at work funding another railroad to nowhere. Wouldn't be quite as bad if I were close enough to actually ride on it, but alas, it's 600+ miles away.

How about if just the people that ride on it pay for it. Is that too much to ask?
