Chris Peace: 2009 Session Newsletter #6

June 10, 2009
Message from ChrisWhat turned out to be a brief imitation of Spring ended this week, as temperatures became more seasonal in Richmond. With just one week remaining before the scheduled end of this year?s General Assembly session, the state?s fiscal situation became clearer, along with the challenges we face in completing our work on amending the existing biennial budget.Peace Times Dispatch Sunday, February 22, 2009 Commentary: ?Is Commonwealth Following Road to Federal Serfdom??Shortfall/Stimu...

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.

Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

May 22, 2009
Rather than ask one of his opponents, or a supporter of one of his opponents, I?d rather just hear it straight from the candidate. Cuccinelli?s position on the death penalty, including the triggerman rule, is reproduced below the fold. Before we get to it, I really wish we would spend the last week before the Convention talking about something else. The death penalty, as an issue, is such a small fraction of what the Attorney General has to deal with, and as Jerry Kilgore so cleverly proved, i...

Ox Road South: "The Gloucester Forty" and the Right to Petition

April 16, 2009
Every Assembly session features a side story which probably deserves its own novel. This year, I would nominate the story of the "Gloucester Forty."  I have no involvement in Gloucester County and no first-hand knowledge of the facts.  However, I heard hours of testimony on this in the "P&E" Committee and here's what I understand happened: There are citizens of Gloucester County unhappy with their local Board of Supervisors.  As a result, the citizens launched a petition drive to have cert...
