Roll Call writes today, “It wasn’t supposed to be like this for the White House […]

The persistent whiners in Hanover County are at it again. And it’s time that the rest of the citizens have a good look at exactly what is going on. You would think that America was in the middle of a financial boom listening to the gnashing of teeth from those who believe that schools should […]

I have written several times about the restoration of the Appellate Defender’s office in Virginia. The Indigent Defense Commission had to abolish the office due to budget cuts. Now you can do something about it! Email your senator if you are in his or her district (especially the Republicans!) or can if a Virginia voter, […]

In an editorial today, The Wall Street Journal editors takes a top Senate Democrat to task for a speech staking out a position that would sink tax reform efforts. They write, “The polls say voters want more bipartisanship, and one possibility in 2013 is tax reform that trades lower rates for fewer loopholes. Well, so much for that. […]

I have a special interest in the VA Appellate Defender’s office: I was the first Appellate Defender in the Commonwealth from 1996 to 2000. In 2009, the doors were shuttered due to budget cuts and the ancillary fact the appellate defender was not protected by statute. I promised I would see about restoring the AD’s […]

So it appears in the liberal camps Armageddon has arrived. Budget cuts hit schools! Horrors! It looks to me like Governor McDonnell trimming those areas of the budget that have increased massively under the past 2 Democratic Administrations.
