Delegate Sickles donation of special session salary to the Library Foundation
Fairfax, VA - On June 22nd, Delegate Mark Sickles received a Certificate
of Recognition from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors for his
11 years of service to the Fairfax County Public Library Board of Trustees.
He chose to contribute his per-diem expense check from the General Assembly Special Session to the Library Foundation. He stated that, “while this money doesn’t do enough to eliminate the library funding formula’s bias against Fairfax County, at least it might help bring some attention to the issue.”
Delegate Sickles’ bill to eliminate this discrimination was not included in this year’s budget, he stated, “it just means I’ll have to introduce the bill again next year and continue fighting for Fairfax’s fair share from the state.”
