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. Below are a mixed batch of quotes from Republicans and Democrats alike regarding Governor Kaines tr...
The Shad Plank: A little judicial smackdown...
April 24, 2008
Hampton's judges have been in dispute for years, but it seemed like the two chambers of the General Assembly were in agreement on judicial appointments until about 9:30 p.m. last night. The issue could have gone away quietly, instead the Senate made a very public rebuke of the appointment of Kathy Gear-Owens, the sister of Republican Del. Tom Gear - by pulling her name out and watching her candidacy get only 12 votes. Ouch. Which immediately leads to the question was this very simply a quic...

January 24, 2008
Goat hunting Trophy care on your hunt includes camping, fleshing and salting of all hides, horns and antlers in the field.

Moose, caribou and elk antlers should also be shipped. A local taxidermist can ship trophies for you or we have a US Taxidermist who will haul trophies to the US in late October. This taxidermist can ship y...
Alphecca: VA: Two Anti-Gun Bills Lose
January 23, 2008
Both were silly ones, feel good ones that deserved to be squashed. From the VA Daily Press: Sen. Mamie Locke, D-Hampton, sponsored two restriction proposals and she stepped to the podium to defend them shortly after another gun-control bill died. She began her pitch with a realistic tone: ?I suffer from no delusions.? One of Locke?s bills would allow cities and counties to ban firearms from libraries and the other would keep gun owners from bringing weapons to outdoor festivals and carnivals....
majdc.wordpress.com: SJ 45 Requests a study on the process of transfer
January 18, 2008
Senator Mamie Locke has introduced SJ 45 which requests that the Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice study the process of transferring juveniles to adult court. The bill cites inconsistencies and lack of predictability in the process as one of the reasons for the study. The bill also raises the question of whether criminal street gang affiliation should be a factor in the transfer determination. The directive given the Advisory Committee by the bill orders them to study the entire proces...
