L’Etat, C’est Moi
4 March 2010 | 29th VA Senate, Virginia Senate | 9 Comments
Senator Chuck Colgan has done a great job so far this session of channeling Louis XIV. When VDOT complained about the costs of HB 652, a bill designed to ensure that those who have their property seized under eminent domain are properly compensated, Colgan voted to kill the bill, ensuring that the demonstrated practice of […]
Chuck Colgan Hints At Retirement
24 February 2010 | 29th VA Senate | 16 Comments
Once again speculation runs rampant about whether Senator Chuck Colgan will seek re-election. This familiar discussion is refueled by comments reported in the Virginian-Pilot and replayed at Virginia Virtucon that disclose health concerns may force Senator Colgan to retire from public service. This is not at all the retirement scenario Prince William County Republicans were […]

“Cut Virginia Spending Tour” Visits Gainesville
22 February 2010 | 29th VA Senate, Prince William County | No Comments
Not much notice on this, but if you’re free Tuesday night (tomorrow) there’s another Americans For Prosperity event in Gainesville that you probably won’t want to miss. While Senator Chuck Colgan is supporting higher taxes on Virginians during these difficult economic times, some citizens are gathering to demonstrate that we want smaller government, not higher […]

Virginia Senate: Is Budget Paralysis A Better Option?
13 February 2010 | 29th VA Senate, Virginia Senate | 11 Comments
The central political struggle that grips this year’s session of the General Assembly is quite understandably the budget. With revenues down and plenty of good causes deserving of taxpayer dollars, Senate Democrats in particular have been taking potshots at the Governor and the Republican majority in the House for rejecting the idea of raising taxes […]

“Democratic” Party Shows True Colors
20 January 2010 | 29th VA Senate, Virginia Senate | 11 Comments
The other day Jim Hoeft pointed out the wonderfully “post partisan” way that Virginia Democrats in the Senate of Virginia are exercising their leadership which isn’t a whole lot unlike the way Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi demonstrate the new “post partisan” era on Capitol Hill. Unlike Republican Speaker of the House Howell ensuring […]

Speaking Of Election Fraud…
9 January 2010 | 29th VA Senate, Crime | 16 Comments
Given that there’s a big issue with Dave Marsden’s fake residency within the Senate District he’s running in, here’s an interesting question for Prince William County voters to ponder:
Where does Senator Chuck Colgan live? No, where does he really reside?
If you answered in Vint Hill, you’d be wrong. He’s renting that house out but picking […]

Chuck Colgan: Channeling Karl Marx
29 December 2009 | 29th VA Senate | 23 Comments
Senator Chuck Colgan somehow seems to think that his constituents are demanding an increase in Virginia’s income tax, according to the WashPo:
“We hadn’t had an increase in the income tax rate in 38 years. I’d be willing to bet there’s not another state in the union that has held fast on that rate for that […]

Chuck Colgan To Sponsor Massive Tax Hike
18 December 2009 | 29th VA Senate, Virginia Politics | 12 Comments
I hope those of you out there who voted to re-elect Chuck Colgan are as pleased with him today as you were when you cast that vote. Colgan announced he is going to be the chief patron this session for a bill hiking the state income tax by two billion dollars. Although the measure is […]

Colgan And Barker Break Another Promise
8 April 2009 | 39th VA Senate, 29th VA Senate | 25 Comments
Two Democratic Senators switched their votes on HB 1851 (introduced by Scott Lingamfelter R-31st) today and made the difference in upholding the Governor/DNC Chairman’s veto of a bill that would allow active duty and reserve military personnel to be excepted from Virginia’s “one gun a month” rule. George Barker and Chuck Colgan, who had previously […]

Chuck Colgan Votes For Illegal Aliens, Again
28 January 2009 | 29th VA Senate, Virginia Senate | 33 Comments
Remember when Chuck Colgan told people last election he was going to be tough on illegal immigration? Guess what folks — he recently voted to provide illegal aliens with preferential in-state tuition rates in SB 1037 even though federal law prohibits providing such benefits. I guess campaign promises aren’t what they used to be. Of […]

The King’s Clothes Vanish
19 February 2008 | 29th VA Senate | 34 Comments
Ken Cuccinelli, who is unarguably the best Virginia Senator from Fairfax County reminded readers of his “Cucinelli Compass” today about some interesting, well, changes in the policy outlook of Senator Chuck Colgan. I had been somewhat hopeful that Colgan’s campaign promises actually meant something, especially after he introduced SB 90 which would have required that […]

E-Verify Moves To Subcommittee
28 January 2008 | Illegal Aliens, 29th VA Senate, Virginia Senate | 22 Comments
Senator Colgan’s SB 90 moved to the Senate Courts of Justice Special Subcommittee on Immigration today where it faces an uphill battle to survive given that Dick Saslaw heads this subcomittee. SB 90 would to require that all Virginia employers participate in the federal E-Verify program, making it tremendously more difficult for illegal aliens […]

Colgan Introduces E-Verify Bill
4 January 2008 | Illegal Aliens, 29th VA Senate | 114 Comments
Apparently, not all Democrats are following the lead of those such as Democrats on the Loudoun Board of County Supervisors and Arlington Chairman Walter Tejada in trying to align their party with illegal alien lobbyists. After hearing from constituents in his district about their concerns about illegal immigration during the elections and seeing the […]

Manassas-Manassas Park Post-Election Analysis
7 November 2007 | 29th VA Senate, Manassas Park, Manassas City, 50th HOD District | 63 Comments
Manassas is a pretty solidly Republican area with strong affinity for long-time Senator Chuck Colgan, and a jurisdiction where the immigration debate has been hot and heavy, especially with the construction of the “Liberty Wall” billboard in the city’s historic district. The 50th District rematch with Jackson Miller and Jeanette Rishell was largely a referendum […]

Chuck Colgan’s Best New Buddies
5 November 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 33 Comments
One of the best arguments I’ve heard lately for voting for Bob Fitzsimmonds in the 29th Senate District are the endorsements by Republicans Russ Potts and John Chichester of his opponent Chuck Colgan. Chichester played a huge role in Mark Warner’s historic tax increase which resulted in tax surpluses ever since enactment, and along with […]

Election Eve Desperation
5 November 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 54 Comments
I was at the VRE this morning with Jackson Miller when something odd happened. A team of Colgan supporters showed up and began putting Colgan signs up all over Old Town Manassas.
In Fairfax this would not be remarkable, but it is illegal in Manassas to put political signs on public property. I would have thought that […]

Chuck Colgan: Public Benefits For Illegal Aliens
1 November 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 14 Comments
Today we take a look at another element of the “Colgan Straight Talk”, which so far is proving to be nothing but a collection of last-minute horse hockey designed to obfuscate Senator Colgan’s voting record.
Colgan: I do not support state benefits for illegal immigrants
Well, this must be another recent policy conversion on the part of […]

New Yorkers To Rescue Colgan Campaign

Last year, Jeanette Rishell had to bring in a field director from New Hampshire during the last few months of her campaign in order to help out her campaign. This year, Riley is reporting that Senator Chuck Colgan finds the local pickings so meager that he has had to hire folks from Maryland and New […]

Has Chuck Colgan Lost His Mind?
30 October 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 37 Comments
Recently, Senator Chuck Colgan’s campaign manager Roger Snyder made a comment giving us “Colgan Straight Talk” that is anything but straight. Over the next few days, I’m going to work through some of these statements and expose them for the bald-faced lies that they are. Despite my previous convictions that while I disagreed […]
