PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — A new bill that fully funds Metro to the tune of $154 million annually means traffic relief on Route 28 could come later than originally planned.
State legislators passed a bill this winter that would, for the first time since its inception, provide a dedicated revenue stream for Washington’s Metro rail system. The move, however, drains more than $100 million in revenues from the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, charged with improving mobility on area roads and transit systems.

Here’s a term you might not be familiar with — the sandwich generation. It typically refers to the generation that cares for both children and aging parents.
Traditionally, the generation is made up of people in their thirties and forties. But with technology, advanced healthcare and a wide span of years during which parents decide to have children, the sandwich generation can include people in their twenties and fifties, maybe even sixties, in some cases. The Pew Research Center says, “Who is the sandwich generation? Its members are mostly middle-aged: 71% of this group is ages 40 to 59. An additional 19% are younger than 40 and 10% are age 60 or older.”
