As the Washington Metrorail system readies to move into Loudoun County, the annual costs associated with the transit authority's operations and construction are becoming frighteningly real and worrisome for local officials.
Chairwoman of the Board of Supervisors Phyllis Randall (D-At Large) indicated last week she had been given “real and honest numbers” on what Metro would cost going forward -- numbers she said would be impossible to pay for Loudoun and other jurisdictions.
But despite her provocative statement, Randall isn't disclosing any figures, nor is Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn), county administration or Metro (WMATA).
