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 23, 2009

April 23, 2009
Sorry for the late arriving delivery of the News Stand. But there?s lots to ponder today. The gubernatorial campaign is red hot now , make no mistake: Dems going after GOP nominee-to-be Bob McDonnell , House Republicans and each other; national figures weighing in; and, it wouldn?t be a Terry McAuliffe  moment if some financial investigation into an associate isn?t involved ? and it?s not the Clintons, either, even though Bill announced he?d come campaign for him. That only prompted a rep...

Annie B's Capitol Buzz Unemployment Benefits: The Whole Story While much has been written about the House of Delegates' vote against permanently changing Virginia's unemployment insurance law through a federal mandate in order to receive $125 million in short-term, temporary funding, little has been written about the comprehensive initiatives put forth by the House and passed by the General Assembly during the regular and reconvened sessions. These are initiatives that will not leave our s...

The Shad Plank: Del. Frank Hall, D-Richmond, retires to the ABC Board.....

March 27, 2009
The list of incumbents keeps getting shorter and shorter these days, and the latest lawmaker to bid farewell to General Assembly is Del. Frank Hall , D-Richmond. Hall, a well-spoken, affable Richmond leader, started serving in the House of Delegates in 1976 and used to head up the House Democratic Caucus. A mainstay in the House chamber, Hall was second on the seniority with only Del. Lacey Putney , I-Bedford, serving longer.  Hall's announcement isn't a total shock, but it is certain to ...
