bearingdrift.com: Transportation, trust and taxes

May 8, 2008
Lots of focus on this in today?s Virginian-Pilot. Kerry Dougherty leads with a Bearing Drift hat-tip, citizens at a General Assembly public hearing give many ideas, and General Assembly Democrats finally assert themselves as the preeminent tax increasers in Virginia. ?Turns out that buried deep in that CNU study are few startling nuggets. So far, it?s only attracted the attention of bloggers at Bearing Drift.? ?Math isn?t my strong suit, but it seems as if 78 percent of us believe politician...

bearingdrift.com: Senate Dems setting new standards for ethics

May 2, 2008
Boy, the new VA Senate majority is setting new standards for ethics. Low ones. Sen. Yvonne Miller is having fun deadlocking judicial appointments in cities where she doesn?t live, blocking the unanimous choice of the elected officials of both parties who actually live there. Sen. Creigh Deeds handed a judgeship to a $2500 donor. Now, Sen. Louise Lucas is wrapped up in the money tree in Portsmouth. Sen. Lucas has a $65 million hotel project pending before Portsmouth City Council. Councilman Ch...

bearingdrift.com: McDonnell: merit-based judicial selection is the best course

April 28, 2008
It should come as no surprise to any of us who have followed politics for a number of years that Attorney General Bob McDonnell from the time he was a delegate has been a strong proponent of merit-based judicial selection. Back in 2000, it was McDonnell who proposed a 27-member panel that would conduct evaluations of judges, ensuring accountability and objectivity in the re-appointment and selection process. In 2004, McDonnell strongly advocated again for the evaluation process when Del. Bria...

bearingdrift.com: Bolling reacts to judicial appointment ethics questions

April 28, 2008
After learning this weekend that Sen. Yvonne Miller has hijacked the judicial appointment process in Norfolk and Virginia Beach and Sen. Creigh Deeds accepted campaign money from an appointee?s law firm (where she is one of two partners) before he strongly advocated for her selection, we asked Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, the presiding officer of the Senate, his thoughts on how these Senators were behaving. Bolling wrote Bearing Drift: ?Unfortunately, I don?t really think this situation is that un...

April 28, 2008
There are over 500,000 people in the commonwealth that live in the cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach ? all of them are being held hostage by the wishes of one Democratic Senator who wants to get her way on judges?Sen. Yvonne Miller. At the beginning of this session, with the Democrats now in the majority following the 2007 election, the Virginia Beach delegation approached Sen. Dick Saslaw (D), majority leader, to see what the process would be for selecting judges to fill judicial vacancies...
