News in the Valley: Dems Weigh Gas Tax Options--Daily News-Record

June 28, 2009
BThree Democrats seeking seats in the House of Delegates were divided on whether they would support raising gas taxes to pay for Virginia's transportation needs. But Democrats Gene Hart of Harrisonburg, Greg Marrow of McGaheysville and Erik Curren of Staunton all blamed local Republican lawmakers for helping to cause the state's transportation funding problems. V Over the past several months, the Commonwealth Transportation Board has been grappling with how to bridge an estimated $2.6 billion t...

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...

On hand to greet them were Delegates Ben Cline, Steve Landes and Matt Lohr; Senator Mark Obenshain; Unit Chairs Mike Meredith, Tracy Evans, Bill Shirley and Chris Darden; and forme...

As we are now less than two weeks from the Republican State Convention, I thought I should weigh in on the important Attorney General?s race.  For the attentive folks, you may have noticed that I?ve recently added two graphics links to my page.  One serves to remind you about the RPV Convention.  The other is a link to the Ken Cuccinelli for Attorney General campaign.  When it comes to selecting our next Attorney General, there are a myriad of reasons that can compel you to support a certain can...

On the Western Banks of the Shenandoah: Wrap-Up of the Harrisonburg Rally

April 1, 2009
After a little bit of a mix-up getting to Taylor Hall, I managed to make it to the rally shortly before former Attorney General Bob McDonnell arrived. However, by that time the room was PACKED and every chair was taken. I counted about 70 heads, including 8 or so College Democrats. Bob acknowledged their presence, and they were in turn respectful. He joked that he hoped to peel some of them off in his 15 minute speech (which actually played out for about 25 minutes, given the intimate nature of ...
