Comments
Although this appears to be of no importance to Virginians, this is subversive to our rights to look those accusing us of something in the eye and say, "explain". It is also an unacceptable method to conduct "unregulated" oversite.!!! Now, I don't know Del. Jones of Richmond but someone needs to ask him why he put this bill forward, and for whom.!!
This is a venomous nightmare waiting to strike.
I plea with Del. Jones to do everything in his power to rectify this mistake. You were lied to and mislead by State Police. Do not allow another mistake greater than doing nothing.

This is a step too far in this post 9/11 world. We must protect our rights to information and not permit secrecy in our government agencies. Let's not forget that they work for us.
this is starting to look more like the government is straying away from what it has sworn to do to protect the public and not hide anything from us. no more secrets or lies, all empires fail when they start to erode the very foundation which it was founded on. please do not pass this bill it will only produce distrust, let pure justice prevail not hidden and false made up and botched tyranical rule.
