Raising Kaine The Voice of Progressive Virginia : Rex Simmons: "Richmond, We Have a Problem"

March 15, 2008
From Rex Simmons, 40th District Democratic nominee in 2007, this was also published in the Connection newspapers. Richmond, We Have a Problem To the Editor: The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled unconstitutional major portions of the transportation funding plan adopted last year by the Republican-controlled General Assembly. Readers will recall this was a seriously flawed plan that provided a marginally acceptable level of money and the hated abusive driver fees. Now the component of the pla...

Raising Kaine The Voice of Progressive Virginia : This is a Bad Joke, Right?

February 13, 2008
Somebody please tell me this is a bad joke: Virginia House Revives Abusive Driver Fees Virginia House of Delegates votes to recreate abusive driver fee program as mandatory minimum fines. The Virginia House of Delegates voted 82-17 yesterday to save the controversial abusive driver fee concept that sparked a voter revolt last year. State Delegate David B. Albo (R-Springfield) authored the new legislation that imposes what are now called "mandatory minimum fines" of up to $3000 on a list of of...

baconsrebellion.blogspot.com: Hampton Roads/Tidewater's Last Chance With HRTA

January 28, 2008
My new state senator, John Miller (D-1SD), saw his bill to kill the HRTA die in committee. He had modified his own bill to end the unelected, unaccountable, unseparated powers Regional Government to exclude only The Peninsula. Still, it went down 10-4. Now, the only chance to kill the HRTA this session is the bill my delegate, Tom Gear (R-91HD), submitted. HB 829 redlines, repeals, the HRTA and its projects which don't solve the transportation congestion here from the monster HB3202. The rest o...

Pam's House Blend ...always steamin'! : Lobbying in Richmond for LGBT rights with Equality Virginia

January 27, 2008
The other day I got with Equality Virginia for their annual Lobby Day. Picture several hundred of us talking with Virginia state delegates and senators about the issues that matter to us. This year in the Virginia legislature, we have an extraordinary first: There is no pending legislation that EV opposes. In other words, no anti-LGBT bills. There are only LGBT-positive bills this session which Equality Virginia is supporting. What a long way we've come in a few short years! I was there all day...
