vagopcaucus.blogspot.com: House and Senate Democrat Leaders Against Kaines Transportation Plan!

May 14, 2008
Finally Governor Kaine graces us with his Transportation Proposal only to get little to NO support from his Democratic colleagues. After announcing his plan yesterday afternoon in Richmond, it seems to me that he preferred more of a vigilante approach to a transportation solution because obviously did not include any of the suggestions from Democratic or Republican, House or Senate Leadership.

swacgirl.blogspot.com: Howell v Amy: Are endorsements helping ... or hurting?

May 13, 2008

I?m Surrounded By Idiots: Don?t forget the tax raising hypocrites on transportation!

May 12, 2008
The Shad Plank reports: For all the talk Monday over Gov. Timothy M. Kaine?s transportation plan version 3.1, the most telling exchange may have occured between Del. Morgan Griffith and Del. Kirk Cox, two of the most influential voices in the House Republican Caucus. After the pair criticized Kaine?s plan to levy sales taxes in Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia (hits working people too hard) and increase the grantor?s tax (hits the struggling home industry) they were asked by a reporter: U...
