  The Board voted 7-2, with Chairman Scott York and Supervisor Jim Burton opposed.
  ...
  Burton told other board members to vote yes if they think getting one and three-quarters mile of roadway for 2,000 homes is in the county's best interest.

  I reported, like other news outlets did, that Supervisor Jim Burton at the Board of Supervisors Sept. 4 meeting said that illegal immigrants are "integral and vital" to Loudoun's economy.Not a bias statement on my part.That's what he said.Burton continued to say that illegal immigrants "fill jobs that no one else wants."Again, not bias.That's what he said.
  
  However, on Sept. 7, I received an e-mail from someone who spoke at the meeting saying that I "misrepresented" the Blue Ridge supervisor's true sentiment."It was quite clear that Jason Jacks was using your statements," the reader said in a letter to Burton, "to create his own reality."
  ...
  Was Supervisor Burton being facetious in his comments?
  ...
  If I "misrepresented" what you said Supervisor Burton.

  Loudoun County Supervisor Jim Burton, the author of the moratorium, whose far western and heavily rural section of the county has been a key development battleground, flatly denies Shultz' charge: "It is and always has been an issue of public health. Burton said he's written a letter to the governor asking him to veto the bill. Legislators "have put the profits of the building industry ahead of public health," he said.
  ...
  The result was that "the state has looked to Loudoun as sort of a guinea pig," said Supervisor Burton, who championed the local legislation that has placed a five-year ban on approval of most new alternative systems, during which officials hope to determine whether maintenance requirements will lead to properly functioning systems. "The state, in our opinion, did not do a thorough enough investigation on possible kinds of failures, the consequences of failures, and what to do about correcting problems that cropped up when systems failed," Burton said.
  ...
  Burton, a leading slow-growth advocate, said the ban aims to determine whether maintenance requirements will lead to systems that work, noting that some technologies will likely "come through with flying colors. "I suspect others will not," Burton said.
  ...
  Loudoun County Supervisor Jim Burton, who wrote the 2008 moratorium, says that could take two years or more, which gives the county time to make its case against alternative septic before more permits can be approved.
  
  "We have 3,200 [alternative septic systems] approved of which 1200 have been installed," Burton said. "We have time now to do some careful analysis of those that have been installed, and we will present that to the health department, the legislature, and the world."
  
  Burton and other slow-growth advocates in Loudoun County had been cautiously watching the bill, which the General Assembly sent to Kaine in February.

  In an advisable effort to repair the damage wrought by recent events, yet another proposed code of ethics and disclosure is before the Board of Supervisors, initiated by Supervisor Waters (who has helpfully provided this PDF of the original code proposed by Supervisor Burton in 2004.) This document shows the big empty spaces beside the names of Supervisors Delgaudio, Snow, Staton and Tulloch, who said at the time that they didn't need to sign it because they already "know what ethics are."
  ...
  Staton blamed Burton for the mistrust because he dared to call them on their "shenanigans" in public. (Shoot the messenger!!!!)

  "The revenue picture we're seeing is not getting better -- it's still declining," said Supervisor Jim Burton (I-Blue Ridge) who heads the county's finance committee.
  ...
  "I don't want to put absolute fear out there of draconian actions, but we're facing a serious situation and we need to talk about these implications," Burton said. "The impact of what we may have to do is so dramatic that we need to have a policy discussion on size of government and the services that may or may not be reduced or eliminated."
  
  Supervisors also asked county staff to report back to them for a discussion on next year's tax rate before the rate is advertised. Once a proposed rate is public, it cannot be raised.
  
  "We have never faced this kind of situation in the past and it needs to be a collaborative work between us and the staff," Burton said.
