Here’s a quote that summarizes the futility of the proceedings in the General Assembly yesterday, in which the major accomplishment was the state Senate’s passage of a gas tax that Gov. Timothy M. Kaine never asked for and the House of Delegates will never vote for.
From the Washington Post:
“There is no consensus in the General Assembly of Virginia between any group on how to approach transportation,” Senate Minority Leader Thomas K. Norment Jr. (R-James City) said on his chamber’s floor. “I am not afraid of tax increases, but this is not the time and this is not the place and everyone in this room knows it is not going to happen.”
