Discussions from the January 2018 Arlington County Board Meeting.

Absolutely
so
the
legislative
sessions
hallmark
is
that
it
is
short
they
consider
literally
thousands
of
bills
in
a
matter
of
weeks,
and
so
one
of
the
most
important
rules
that
we
can
play
is
trying
to
organize
ourselves
in
advance
and
trying
to
have
that
conversation
with
our
legislators
in
advance
about
what
some
of
our
priorities
are.
Every
year
in
the
fall
or
early
winter
timeframe.

C
C
Mean
you
know,
metros
consumed
so
much
oxygen
over
the
course
of
last
couple
of
years,
and
that's
going
to
continue
in
this
session
and
and
really
for
a
good
reason.
It's
not
just
an
important
priority
for
Arlington.
It's
it's
an
important
priority
for
all
of
Northern
Virginia
and
what
we're
trying
to
make
the
case
to
the
General
Assembly.
C
So
you
know
that's
well
known
to
everybody
around
here,
less
well
known
in
the
General
Assembly,
but
I
think
people
are
coming
together
and
understanding
that
something
needs
to
be
done,
and
the
outgoing
governor
has
shown
good
leadership
in
putting
something
forward
that
could
be
discussed
and
the
current
governor
is
maintained.
I
think
that
priority
focus
we've
got
details,
important
details
to
work
out,
but
it
is
something
that
we
are
going
to
see
through
till
the
end.
