Loudoun County Board of Supervisors are asked to provide evidence of how their recent taxpayer-funded trips to sister cities benefited Loudoun County. In a July interview with News7, Board Chair Phyllis Randall claimed the most recent sister city trips to Ghana and Uruguay had enormous financial benefit for her county, but FOIA documents say otherwise.
Stephen Karbelk has called for Randall and the rest of the board of supervisors to produce evidence to support Randall’s claim that these sister city relationships have resulted in a $1.37 billion revenue windfall for Loudoun.
