Bearing Drift :: Virginia Politics On-Demand: Amundson to retire; advantage McConville

June 25, 2009
Jay McConville just got a gift. Del. Kris Amundson, a leader in the Democratic Party of Virginia, had decided that it is time to leave office after two decades of public service. McConville was challenging Amundson for her seat in the House of Delegates and now will face Fairfax County Democratic Committee Chair Scott Surovell . Amundson cites in her retirement letter financial reasons for leaving office, stating that the consulting business (which makes up a substantial portion of her co...

Virginia 8th Congressional District Democratic Committee: 24 Hours of (United) Democrats

June 10, 2009

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...

Bearing Drift :: Virginia Politics On-Demand: Lies, job killers, unemployment benefits, federal stimulus money, and unfunded mandates

April 30, 2009
Speaker William Howell (R-Stafford) sums up the unemployment unfunded mandate debate pretty nicely: If the prohibitive provisions of the federal stimulus package that would raise the tax on every job in Virginia were removed, more unemployed workers could receive added assistance during this economic crisis without inhibiting long-term job creation. It is my sincere hope that our congressional delegation will work constructively and cooperatively to eliminate these onerous restrictions, heed...
