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...

DownWithTyranny!: It Was Bad Enough When GOP Governors Were Playing Politics With Stimulus Money, Now We Have Virginia's Wanna Be Gov Playing The Same Game

April 9, 2009
Bob McDonnell prepares for GOP Version of prime time Yesterday Bloomberg reported on the bleak outlook many retired auto industry workers have about the value of their pensions. If GM is pushed into bankruptcy, as looks increasingly probable, retirees (and workers) "are bracing for what may be $16 billion in pension losses if the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. has to take over the plans, according to the agency. As many as half of GM?s 670,000 pension-plan participants might see their benefi...

www.huffingtonpost.com: Ian Welsh: Republican Economic Illiteracy On Display As Virginia Rejects UI Money

April 9, 2009

On a mostly party-line 46-53 vote, the House turned down amendments by Democratic Gov. Timothy M. Kaine that were necessary to make Virginia eligible for the federal aid. Modern Republicanism laid bare: never help anyone who r...
