There was some trepidation coming from the dais Tuesday, but the Board of Supervisors voted to support the Dulles Rail compromise presented by U.S. Secretary of Transportation Raymond LaHood-only if a series of conditions are met.
The board voted 7-2, with Supervisors Jim Burton (I-Blue Ridge) and Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling) opposed, to accept the funding compromise with a list of seven caveats not the least of which is that the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority agree to build an above-ground station option at Dulles Airport. If the compromise is accepted it would drop Phase 2's estimated cost by around $1 billion-getting it much closer to the original estimate.http://www.leesburg2day.com/news/article_77609b5a-b22a-11e0-931d-001cc4c002e0.html
