Letter: Virginia bears the brunt of airport authority decisions. So why doesn’t it get more control?, Capital Business, Washington Post, August 19, 2012

In this letter by the President of the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, Jim Corcoran argues for Virginians controlling the MWAA Board of Directors, especially in light of its questionable activities and  lack of accountability and transparency. 

The key passage from a Dulles Corridor perspective is as follows:

The decisions made by this board, especially as they relate to tolls in the Dulles Corridor, directly impact the daily lives of millions of Northern Virginians and thousands of businesses; yet, the majority of board members don’t have to deal with the consequences. The board members from Maryland and the District will rarely, if ever, be forced to pay the tolls on the Dulles Toll Road and the federal appointees do not live in the region.
