A new day in Virginia?
Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling announcement of the election, he wants more as a challenge, Attorney General Robert McDonnell prefect of the Republican nomination for next year is perhaps the first good news that the Republicans of Virginia, in several years. Mr. Bolling decision to run with Mr. McDonnell governor under a single ticket, spare parts Republican Party the party a fierce struggle between conservatives and GOP primary gives the team more than a year and a half of one for the voters should be in the fall The Republican Governor rear of the mansion.
The McDonnell-Ticket Bolling offers an opportunity for Republicans at the end regular leaf, with the resignation of House Speaker Vance Wilkins in the summer of 2002. According to Mr. Wilkins’ departure, the Republican Senate leadership of the financial-President John Chichester has strongly and openly about the distribution of two GOP on tax increases for transportation, with the support of Senate Republicans an increase of taxes and house Republican opponent. In 2004, Democratic Gov. Mark Warner, the Republicans control the legislature to support $ 1.4 billion tax increase, which would have been unthinkable if Mr. Wilkins was loudspeakers.
During the year 2005, the Republicans were disappointed, as Attorney General Jerry Kilgore lost, the governor of the race to Democrat Tim Kaine. In 2006, the party has suffered another blow, as Senator George Allen was defeated for re-election at your disposal. In 2007, the House of Representatives and the Senate, the Republicans have come together to transportation funding compromise, which does not correspond to a national taxation. But the “driver abuse” of the bill fines of a fire triggered a tower of the opposition. In November, the Democrats regain control of the Senate in Virginia. Early in the year, the transportation compromise collapsed coordination with the donor bill repealing the fines, Virginia and the Supreme Court of the Constitution obdavčitve local authorities, by the bill.
This problem has the potential to create an enormous problem for the Republican Party and Mr. McDonnell, especially if not properly treated. The Attorney-General has, during the past year helped to broker the transportation management. Now that it is collapsed, it is essential for a new type of funding for transport projects in key areas such as population and the Northern Virginia Hampton Roads. At one point, in the coming weeks, Mr. Kaine is scheduled a special meeting on transport, and has the possibility of funding at least in part, by increasing taxes, as well as some Republican lawmakers. We believe.
As we have pointed out several times earlier, the crux of the problem is the formula existing credit, the taxpayers money unless populated rural areas at the expense of public transport Northern würgte courts Virginia. But that will not change as long as the Governor and legislators think it is politically easier than raising taxes to the real problem: the waste of resources on projects with low priority, so that some men Policies can boast about pork She brings to the house Richmond. For that reason, Mr. And M. McDonnell Bolling need to reform the system of funding for the top priority.
The Republican Party considers itself highly competitive in 2009 governor’s race, the great approach to the State, by men and McDonnell Bolling, spare a haematoma to the main part of combat. But the situation facing the Senate this year, the race to replace retiring in place Republican John Warner seems to be very bleak. In this competition, Democrat Mark Warner, favours in the race against two Republicans (former Gov. Jim Gilmore and Delegate Robert Marshall), which appeared for the management of a bitter political fight, which is not terrible Obama differs from the Clinton race.
When the two principal leaders of the Republican Party in Virginia, Robert McDonnell and Bill Bolling, some of the challenges before them.
