THE VIRGINIA PARTY OF 'NO' STRIKES AGAIN!

No Solutions. No Ideas. No Committee Meetings Even Scheduled for Discussion.

 

Richmond- Virginia's Republican lawmakers had a lot to say about transportation today, the first day of the special session to once again address the state's transportation crisis. Unfortunately, none of what Republicans had to say moved us any closer to solving our problems. Instead, what Republicans gave Virginia motorists was more gridlock- both on the roads and on the floor of the House of Delegates.

While Gov. Kaine has submitted a comprehensive plan for solving the state's transportation crisis, Republican leaders have offered lots of criticism but no substantive alternatives. And as if that weren't enough, it turns out House Speaker William J. Howell hasn't even scheduled a committee meeting to discuss the Governor's proposal, passing the buck on to the Senate and further delaying any progress on relieving Virginia's clogged roads.

Watch here to see the latest 'No' from Virginia's Republican leaders.
