JUNE 29, 2022

**  CAIR supports dropping Confederate names from Va. county district.  (That would be the Council on American-Islamic Relations.  And, you'd think they have enough of their own problems with their terrorists.  No Confederate ever cut someone's head off on TV or crashed a plane with innocent people into a building with more innocent people in it.)

**  Judge convicts man who carried Confederate flag in Capitol attack.  (Lots and lots of srticles about this. I think that really bothered some folks.  He was convicted of obstruction, entering a restricted building,  disorderly conduct and  unlawful parading.  I wonder if it would have been unlawful parading had he been carrying a BLM flag?

**  (He was quite often referred to as the Confederate flag-toting man.  I wonder how you tote a flag?  His son was also convicted.  He should never have been in the Capitol under those circumstances anyway so am glad he was convicted.)

A Cost to Renaming Roads and Streets

From the February 18, 2022, Fairfax County Times (Virginia)  "Highway name changes in Fairfax County could come with hefty  price tag" by Sravan Gannavarapu.

In December the Confederate Names Task Force voted to rename the Lee Highway and Lee-Jackson Memorial Highway.

Springfield District Supervisor Pat Herrity said the cost for renaming these could come between $1-4 million due to significant fiscal impacts and customer impacts on businesses and residents.

And, then there is the cost of making new signs, taking the old ones down and putting up the new ones.

It was noted that recently  Wade Hampton Drive in Vienna had its name changed to Liberty  Lane.  As a result, each of the town's property owners  will receive $500 for out-of-pocket costs associated with the name change.

***********************

Personally, I would like to see name changes put up to a vote.  If the majority of the people want the name changed, then change it.  But, have the cost of changing the name go to those who voted to change it.
