everyone sees and draws hearts during the month of February, not just due to Valentine’s day, but because it is heart health month. heart disease can happen at any age. Being physically active is a major step toward good heart health. it’s one of your most effective tools for strengthening the heart muscle, keeping your weight under control, and warding off artery damage from high cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure, that can lead to a heart attack or stroke. different types of exercise are needed to provide complete fitness, with aerobic and resistance training being the two most important contributors towards
heart health. examples of aerobic exercise include brisk walking, running, swimming, cycling, and playing tennis. heart-pumping aerobic exercise is the kind that doctors have in mind when they recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate activity.
dieT also MaTTers!in addition to physical activity, diet plays a key role when it comes to heart health. salmon and other fatty fish are superstars of the heart-healthy foods because they contain large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. You really can’t go wrong with vegetables; green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli give an extra boost to your heart. These are high in carotenoids, which act as

antioxidants and free your body of potentially harmful compounds. They’re also high in fiber and contain tons of vitamins and minerals. in particular, kale also has some omega-3 fatty acids.

it is time to roll your sleeves up and bring that healthy heart to Kingstowne’s blood drive on February 25. and guess what, your health can benefit from donating blood. after donating blood, the body works to replenish the blood loss. This stimulates the production of new blood cells and, in turn, helps in maintaining good health.

2019–The Year aheadas i reflect on our successes of 2018, i am even more excited to build upon them in 2019!
lee district’s 2018 was tremendous. it saw the passage of our years-in-the-making embark comprehensive amendment Plan to revitalize the route one corridor. it saw the continued successes of springfield and our town center. also, it saw the reopening of one of our most beloved public libraries, John Marshall.
on the transportation front, 2018 saw the addition of more bike paths and sidewalks, as well as massive investment in our roads and transit systems. The environment also won big, as Fairfax adopted its first-ever energy strategy. My motion at the FY 2018 carryover Package review, July 2018, began funding and provided $4.5 million dollars from the carryover budget towards implementing the strategy. climate change is real, and we must lead on environmental stewardship.
in the new year, i will continue this momentum. we’ll continue to revitalize springfield and route one. This includes continued updates in and around springfield; seeing more retail spaces filled and new “welcome to springfield” gateway signs. our work on route one (via embark) is also at the forefront of my goals. it’s critical that we continue to see that plan come to fruition, especially
Federal TaX chanGes PresenT challenGewhen you read this, the 2019 “short” session, scheduled to last 46 days, will be well underway. a big issue before the General assembly is what to do with the “windfall” that is projected due to last year’s federal tax changes. since the General assembly passed a two-year budget in 2018, no changes are technically needed. however, the governor has proposed amendments that would share these new revenues with families making less than $54,000 per year and invest the remainder in K-12, the environment, public safety, and higher education, all areas where funding has not been restored since the Great recession.
The governor’s ideas will be closely reviewed over the next several weeks and alternative ideas explored. as i write, it is not yet clear that the General assembly and the governor can agree on needed changes to the Virginia tax code. without change, the commonwealth will collect more than $500 million above the baseline budget. But adjusting the tax code to fully refund the “windfall” is also dangerous because the federal individual cuts last for just five years.
what is the technical reason for the “windfall”? Virginia is a “conformity” state meaning that when you determine your adjusted Gross income (aGi)—after taking the standard deduction or after itemizing various deductions and credits—you enter that same number on the state form. with the federal standard deduction for a couple rising to $24,000 per year, many taxpayers will find it useful to take the standard deduction rather than itemizing. under current Virginia law, i.e., without any changes, you could then not itemize on your state form. smart people are looking at the best ways to address this question fairly without making tax filing even more complicated.
it is important to remember that a large majority of taxpayers will get a net tax cut even if they end up paying a little more in state taxes. i am looking for a solution where no individual during this five-year period pays more neT taxes because of the federal tax cut. we can provide tax relief while giving a much-needed pay raise to our teachers.
the widening of route one transit and pedestrian improvements, along with the addition of new mixed-use projects (like the most recent south alex project near huntington Metro station).
i’m also looking forward to continuing to strengthen the relationship between the Fairfax county Police department and community through the implementation of reforms addressed in the ad hoc Police reform report, such as increased transparency and body-worn cameras.
ensuring the continued success of one Fairfax and the successful children and Youth Policy Team (scYPT) is also a big goal of 2019. everyone in Fairfax county should have an equal opportunity to live, work, learn, and play; we can achieve that by measuring all our policy decisions under an intentional equity lens. The zip code you are born into should not dictate your future success.
