Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly. It really is a powerful tool. (To see one of the ways I?m using it on Richmond Sunlight now, check out HB1721 , SB1436 , or HB2482 , where you can see a graph indicating the average partisan position of each bill?s cosponsors.) Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

FamilyFoundationBlog.com: Virginia News Stand: April 27, 2009

April 27, 2009
It?s a somewhat light day at the News Stand . One item of note is that a challenger has emerged against the incumbent in the 15th House district, according to the Harrisonburg Daily News-Record . Why mention only ?incumbent?? Because that?s all the DNR did, which makes for an interesting piece of journalism. The incumbent is, in fact, Delegate Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah ). In news about faith, an Episcopal author has some harsh words for his denomination. In his new book,  Mortal Follies:...

www.nvdaily.com: Thoughts on the GOP AG race

April 27, 2009
With barely a month remaining before the Republican convention, all three GOP candidates for attorney general -- Sen. Ken Cuccinelli , former U.S. Attorney John Brownlee and former Arlington School Board Chairman Dave Foster -- are all scrambling to claim the conservative high ground. One issue in play in the race is of significant local interest -- the "triggerman rule," a section of Virginia law that allows only the "triggerman" in a murder to face the death penalty, regardless of how cu...

On the Western Banks of the Shenandoah: Legislative Forum at YRFV Convention

April 18, 2009
Cristen Vehorn of the Richmond Area YRS led a forum on the past legislative session. A recap is below.  What was the big issue (other than the budget)? McDougle: All sessions are different and usually have an issue (transportation, eminent domain) but the budget overshadowed everything. Part of that had to do with House limits on bill submissions. One major issue that McDougle cited a victory on was transparency. He said that the smoking ban was overplayed in the media.  Cole: The Smoking ...

On the Western Banks of the Shenandoah: BREAKING: Delegate Gilbert to be Challenged

April 11, 2009
From Winchester Report and Rappahannock News , we have word that Delegate Todd Gilbert has drawn a challenger: Democrat John Lesinski. Mr. Lesinski decided to announce at the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors meeting. So far, only Rapp News has carried the announcement. The announcement was just stuffed into a report on the Board meeting. However, the editors had harsh words for the Delegate, who also happened to be at the meeting to give Board members an update on the legislative work he has...
