HB 3202 Court Opinion
1 March 2008 | 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 3 Comments
I have the Virginia Supreme Court’s opinion on the HB 3202 decision here. Revel in the joy of watching Bob Marshall humble those who have been casually dismissing him, as so often seems to happen, in reading this scathing rebuke of this scheme to establish unconstitutional taxation authorities in Virginia.
Bob Marshall Wins HB 3202 Lawsuit - UPDATED
29 February 2008 | 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 28 Comments
I’m hearing that the Virginia Supreme Court has sided with the arguments of Delegate Bob Marshall and determined that granting the Northern Virginia Regional Transportation authority taxation powers is unconstitutional. The power of this authority was granted by the General Assembly during last year’s session with HB 3202. Details aren’t out yet, but […]

31 December 2007 | 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics, US Senate | 15 Comments
Northern Virginia will collect an estimated $335 million additional tax revenue annually beginning tomorrow under the provisions of last year’s transportation compromise. The new taxes affect car rentals, hotel stays, car repairs, and real estate transfers and impose new fees on vehicle licensing and registrations. Should everything work according to plan, this money will supposedly […]

Bob Marshall Passed By On P&E Committee
19 December 2007 | 13th HOD District, Virginia House | 11 Comments
Speaker Howell, in a payback move to Delegate Bob Marshall’s effort to have a different speaker selected, has chosen Delegate Mark Cole of Stafford to chair the House Privileges and Elections Committee despite Marshall being the most senior member on the committee. Although it’s gotten a few bloggers all atwitter, I can’t imagine these […]

Bob Marshall Proposes Overcrowding Initiative
6 December 2007 | 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 45 Comments
The Gainesville Times makes mention of Delegate Bob Marshall’s initiative to help combat residential overcrowding in this week’s edition. Since zoning inspectors do not have police powers, they can be refused entry to a residence and prevented from obtaining the evidence they need in order to issue a citation for overcrowding. The result is that […]

Gay groups say defeating Marshall key to “progress”
2 November 2007 | 13th HOD District | 13 Comments
The Washington Blade has decided that the 13th House District is something that the Washington, DC gay community needs to pay attention to, and has published an article in today’s edition entitled “Co-author of Va. marriage amendment faces re-election” that makes it very clear that if you’re part of the homosexual lobby, Bruce Roemmelt is […]

The Help Save Loudoun PAC, which supports candidates that are strong on the illegal alien issue, has announced it’s endorsements. They’ve picked some excellent candidates in Prince William County including Delegates Bob Marshall, Jackson Miller and Jeff Frederick. I couldn’t agree more. These are all top-tier Delegates.
Next Generation Shenanigans
5 October 2007 | 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 15 Comments
It’s not unusual for political organizations to have their leadership change fairly frequently, but the recent change at the Next Generation Democrats PAC is pretty unusual. It’s not that often that a Communucations Director ends up in a military prison, and has to be replaced.
Dave Montoya (whose bio is now missing from the NGD […]

Marshall Sues Virginia

Delegate Bob Marshall doesn’t pull his punches, as this evening’s press release demonstrates. He’s filed suit to have HB 3202 declared unconstitutional.
Rishell, Roemmelt Wrong On Marriage Amendment
5 August 2007 | 13th HOD District, Jeanette Rishell | 15 Comments
It was going to promote domestic violence. It would irreparably harm the civil rights of large numbers of Virginians. It would usurp powers from the courts. No, it wouldn’t mean cats and dogs being together, but it would certainly be pretty darned close. What was it? It was the Marriage Amendment, which passed overwhelmingly in […]

More Goofiness From Bruce Roemmelt
27 July 2007 | 13th HOD District | 2 Comments
Bruce Rommelt, the local point man opposing the Marriage Amendment in the 2006 elections, is now saying that he opposed HB 3202 within months of telling readers of the Potomac News that he would have supported it. I guess some political advisor told him that folks seem to be in a frenzy about the […]

Marshall: Sue The Department Of Energy
15 May 2007 | 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 2 Comments
Delegate Bob Marshall is on the warpath again, this time about what’s increasingly looking like an effort by the Department of Energy to ram through a declaration of Prince William County as a “National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor”, and extend eminent domain powers on behalf of Dominion Power over the entire county. Delegate Marshall […]

Bruce Roemmelt Forgets To Show Up
9 May 2007 | 13th HOD District | 7 Comments
Although the Connection Newspapers isn’t quite a media powerhouse, they do a pretty good job of covering local political stories in more depth than many other local media outlets. So when they send candidates a questionnaire, it’s usually a good idea for them to respond. Bob Marshall gets this. Bruce Roemmelt, who has been rather […]

Roemmelt Underwhelms
17 April 2007 | 13th HOD District | 6 Comments
Bruce Roemmelt, who is challenging Delegate Bob Marshall in the 13th District, has filed a positively embarrassing campaign finance report this period which might serve to demonstrate that running around the state pandering to “homosexual rights” activists isn’t exactly a very productive campaign strategy. After fundraising with the Virginia Partisans Democratic Gay & Lesbian Club […]
Marshall Recaps The 07 Session
9 April 2007 | 13th HOD District | Comments Off
Delegate Bob Marshall has sent out a legislative recap of the 2007 session which explains some of the more significant votes and issues of this year’s General Assembly session. I am consistently impressed at how devoted to principle this legislator is, and imagine that it must drive his colleagues to distraction sometimes to be […]

Marshall: HB3202 Is Wrong Way
3 April 2007 | 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 7 Comments
From Delegate Bob Marshall comes the following commentary on the transportation plan, which points out some rather disturbing potential problems that don’t seem to be getting addressed. What is particularly bothersome is that some of the the Governor’s substitute bill may be unconstitutional. For the sake of political expediency can we really ask legislators to […]

Arlington Can Keep Bruce Roemmelt
28 March 2007 | 13th HOD District | 4 Comments
Bruce Roemmelt apparently isn’t bothering to hold fundraisers within the district in which he is a candidate and has to go to Arlington in order to raise money from the Arlington Young Democrats and the Virginia Partisans Gay & Lesbian Democratic Club. And he’s the candidate that supposedly reflects the values and policy convictions […]
