Unless taxpayers speak out now, they will soon be on the hook for a $3.5 billion dollar MetroRail extension from West Falls Church to Dulles Airport. The Commonwealth Transportation Board plans to start financing the project immediately by forcing motorists who use the Dulles Toll Road to foot part of the bill for rail. If history is any guide, costs are likely to increase far beyond $3.5 billion (they have already risen by $80 million) and it will do little to relieve road congestion or lure people out of their cars.
