I agree that many politicians seem to just float along with the tide in the Assembly, but Dave Marsden is not one of them; at least not always. In some instances, NOT, enacting a new law IS the right thing to do. For example, NOT enacting the "Regional Taxing Authorities" would have been the right thing to do. In these next four years, NOT backing Bob McDonnell's attempts to sell-off Virginia assets to multinational corporations, like TransUrban, or preventing Toll-road-Bob from adding TOLLs to our existing roads so that we can have the privilege of paying to drive on roads that we have already paid for. I don't expect Republicans and Democrats to huddle in a group hug on every issue, but Dave Marsden has a proven record of working across the aisle on issues of common interest to both Republicans and Democrats. Dave Marsden has a proven performance record on behalf of the citizens. I am sure that the citizens would like to hear about Mr. Hunt's positive characteristics and any constructive solutions that he is proposing. Will these two men have a public debate, so that the citizens can hear the ideas from both of these good citizens? By your evaluation criteria, only Bob Marshall and a hand full of other legislators should be elected.
