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...

Tertium Quids: O'Bannon Is Taking This Race Seriously

April 21, 2009
For the first time since now-Delegate Manoli Loupassi made the rounds of my old neighborhood seeking votes for a slot on Richmond's city council nearly a decade ago, volunteers for a Republican candidate darkened my door this evening.They were canvassing the neighborhood for Del. John O'Bannon, who is being challenged by Democrat Tom Shields for the 73rd district seat.O'Bannon has raised far more money than Shields and enjoys the benefit of serving in what has traditionally been a Republican dis...

Tertium Quids: Cantor v. the Delegates

March 18, 2009
Eric Cantor, who is showing a renewed interest in local politics of late, has waded in the contest to replace Del. Frank Hargrove.Thing is, Cantor is endorsing John Cox in the race (and so too, it seems, is George Allen). Meanwhile, "[s]ix Republican delegates in the House of Delegates have endorsed one of Cox's opponents, Rusty McGuire, a prosecutor, in the June 9 primary."Those Delegates would be Bill Janis, Manoli Loupassi, Todd Gilbert, Ben Cline, Scott Lingamfelter, and David Albo.Oooh. Too...

Tertium Quids: A TEL Makes Its Way Through the Assembly

February 17, 2009
Under the radar, but not out of the sight of some, Del. Manoli Loupassi has managed to get a version of a tax and expenditure limit through the House of Delegates and into the Senate.The bill now sits in the Privileges and Elections committee, where, it's fairly safe to say, its chances of passage are slim.However, it's good to see the House embrace the concept of a TEL, especially when we're witnessing the problems that can arise from unbridled spending growth (that was embraced across party li...
