Every morning, we enjoy thumbing our copy of The Washington Examiner. With strong local coverage that Express sometimes lacks, we have been glad to make The Examiner part of our morning routine. Yesterday’s edition of the paper, however, featured an editorial that is as treasonous to Washington D.C.’s interests as it is uninformed and poorly argued. The piece offers 475 irresponsibly ideological words attempting to convince us that Virginia Rep. Tom Davis’s Metro funding legislation is just about the biggest waste of taxpayer money ever to sally forth from the halls of Congress. We offer a modest rebuttal.
