Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity spoke to Lions and guests at their September 18th dinner meeting.
He discussed trends in county population (increasingly, seniors and young grads are moving out), wages and employment, the unsustainable county pension system, and transportation improvements. Pat leads a county initiative to improve “sports tourism” in the county, and is excited about the prospect of an indoor down-hill skiing venue likely to be located near the Lorton Workhouse Arts Center. Pat also talked about riding with local police during arrest of a MS13 gang member. Pat was accompanied by Bill McCabe, Legislative Aide from his office.
Club President Karen Parker presented Supervisor Herrity a small gift in appreciation for his visit.
