Fastest-growing title more headache than honor (DC and Atlanta expand)

Scott York was less than thrilled at hearing that Loudoun County, a Northern Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., is the nation's fastest-growing county.

"The reward for being No. 1 is we're stuck in traffic," said York, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors. There also are several financial challenges, he said. "We've had to build 28 schools in the last eight years with 23 planned in the next six, so we've got no shortage of debt."

When I last visited DC two years ago, I thought to myself, "Man, we have ourselves one big government." These census numbers show in yet another way that the government in DC continues to grow.

...the Atlanta area, which has four counties — Forsyth, Henry, Newton and Paulding — among the 10 fastest-growing. Overall, the South has 60 of the fastest-growing counties. The West has 20, the Midwest has 18, and the Northeast has two.

These trends should give liberals heartburn. The Red Zone has most of the fastest growing counties, whereas the Blue Zone is growing at the same rate as Europe: Very slowly. Perhaps this is because of all those abortions that they find so fashionable.

Yep, the "new tone in Washington." No vetoes, and we're the ones stuck paying for it.
