Opposed a recent tax increase proposition.

Said a "tax increase is inevitable. I'm just not sure residents can afford to pay the piper with one large rate increase. An 8% raise is quite a bit. And I don't doubt these personnel deserve it.

We must come up with other ways to create revenue for Stafford County" on her Facebook account.
