WELCOME
I started this blog to talk about local politics, specifically Norfolk politics. It is impossible
to talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so you'll also find some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820

I’ll be there.
Wish I could have been there. Too bad I was over 1,000 miles away at the time.
If I had been there, my question would have been:
“Governor Kaine, your new proposal included many tax increases other then an increase in the fuel tax. The justification for not including a fuel tax increase is that it would be ‘Dead On Arrival’. Seems to me that those who oppose a fuel tax increase will also oppose any other tax increase as well. Why did you abandon the fair increase in the fuel tax for less fair proposed tax increases that have no increased chance of being approved?”
Great question, LD! I didn’t get to ask my question either. But they told us that we could send them in electronically to http://www.governor.virginia.gov/CitizenServices/Constituent Services.
