rlcva.wordpress.com: Will anyone speak for the taxpayers at the special session?
April 29, 2008
Just before I skipped town for my sister?s wedding, Governor Kaine called for another special session on transportation funding (AP via Daily Press), meaning we can look forward to yet another argument between tax-hiking Democrats and tax-hiking Republicans. Whether or not we will see a group of lawmakers opposed to any tax increases (i.e., if anyone will join Bob Marshall) remains to be seen. So far, the tax-hikers are holding - such as they can - to their already vague positions. Kaine wa...

Raising Kaine The Voice of Progressive Virginia : "Green Globes" Rises from the Dead
April 23, 2008
This is pathetic: Mere hours after Earth Day, House Republicans defeated an amendment from Gov. Tim Kaine that would have strengthened Virginia's environmental standards for new state buildings (Raising Kaine covered the details of the amendment last week). In the video below, Del.

The amendment was defeated on a near party-line vote. Here ...
