The Spotsylvania Board of Supervisors is about to vote once again on whether the county should join the Virginia Railway Express.
Lost in the emotion and flag-waving is a question that must be answered: How many people from Spotsylvania ride VRE each day, and what would it cost county taxpayers to join?
We do not have current figures, but a recent survey showed that approximately 800 daily commuters take the train.
