Is Devolties-Davis NOVA regional tax increase plan really something to get worked up about? She voted for the Warner tax increase package in 2004. She submitted her NOVA transportation tax plan in 2005 and that was voted down by the House Finance Committe and now her new NOVA tax plan is in the House plan.

However, Bolling and the Senate Republicans did the right thing standing up to Potts and Chich to kill a terrible bill. The fact that they have an R by their name is ridiculous. 10th District, I think you are probably right that Chichester and Senate Finance aren’t going to look kindly on the compromise.

A good ruling on whether a bill before the Senate is germain or not has become one of the most important and effective duties that the Lt. Governor performs. The practice of expanding bills beyond their original scope is the root of many of the problems coming out of the General Assembly these days. I know in my days as policy director of the Lt. Governor's office, we were able to stop many legislative train wrecks. Of course, back then it was the GOP stopping bad legislation from Democrats. We all know where the problems originate these days. GO BILL !!!....give us more 21-19 re-commital votes. My hats off to Bill Bolling.
