Great, but where is that money going?

How about giving some of that money back to the tax payers.

Not where it needs to 742. In 3-5 years it will flat line (no longer increases) then what gimmick will MD look to for a revenue generator? Tolls on Route 50 to OC?

Gorilla in the corner (not elephant since it moves to slow) is when VA decides to stop letting its money go to the MGM casino and builds its own casino in Northern VA.

THEN what will MD do?
