When Governing Magazine gave Virginia all A’s in its survey of state performance, it certainly did not support my contention that Virginia’s government could be more efficient. Barnie Day was probably too polite to mention this in our recent discussion.
Well, along comes Norman Leahy of One Man’s Trash to remind us of the Virginia report card filled out by “Professor” Doug Wilder and the Wilder Commission. Not many Wilder Commission recommendations were implemented, so it’s probably safe to say that Mayor/Professor Wilder might continue to grade a little tougher than the magazine and give me at least a crumb of sustenance as I tilt at windmills.
