A complete waste of time and tax payers’ money! Fairfax dropped the decal years ago. You’ll get a decal whether you pay your PP taxes or not.

The USS Arlington looks like a cruise ship.

Hands down the bottom left one in red. Classic and incorporates the ships seal and national symbols. (without being tacky like the flag one… shudder…)

They ticket the cars that have an old sticker and haven’t gotten around to updating to that year’s sticker. So you’re better off never putting any on in the first place than failing to update.

Great point about the flag code. The citizens of Arlington County that joined O’Leary’s committee to select the finalists were blissfully ignorant of the code. Let’s hope that they were not products of the County’s school system, which the student that designed the decal was. Blame the County’s School Board for not assuring that the County’s students receive adequate civic lessons, despite all of the taxpayers’ money that the Board spends.

Now there will be a poll to select the final decal. Some of the same people will participate in the poll that voted for the parks bond without knowing (or caring) that that the park will be a building with a bunch of indoor swimming pools.

It’s not too hard to predict the outcome of the poll.

Waa waa, I’m an overprivileged Arlingtonian in a county with high property values and good services but I have to fork over thirty three whole dollars to register my car in Arlington. Waaaaaa

But is that red sky at morning or night?
