Attempt to Create 51st State Said Serious
Fairfax County Supervisor Martha V. Pennine proposes a separate State of Northern Virginia including Alexandria Arlington Fairfax London and Prince William counties after the November election. Her Republican opponent Lynn Hopewell calls the idea preposterous and dangerous to state relations, while Delegate Wyatt Durrette and others dismiss it as a campaign gimmick. The debate centers on tax flows and regional growth disparities between Northern Virginia and the rest of the state.
