My bottom line? We need a Republican […]

Some of these have been around for 75 years and are known to create problems. Local media such as the Virginian-Pilot should explain what’s going on, but they won’t. So, it […]

Senator Donald McEachin is leading the charge to hold Virginia’s budget hostage in hopes of getting back some of the power voters took away in November. This is not about funding this or funding that. It’s about McEachin getting a bigger office and having more power, plain and simple. There is not a dimes worth […]
