Don Scoggins says he’s for the $355 million plan to borrow money to pay for new road improvements in the county.

The Democrat who is running unopposed to replace Frank Principi on the Board of County Supervisors says the combined $396 million road and park bonds won’t benefit Woodbridge.

“Revitalization and infrastructure are crucial to moving the Woodbridge District forward. We must revitalize Route 1, while also mitigating the impact of traffic congestion. Unfortunately, the bond referendum in its current form does not include or support any projects for the Woodbridge Magisterial District, thus leaving our community behind. I look forward to working with the new Board of Supervisors who will help identify cost effective projects that will create a better quality of life for Woodbridge residents.”
