Fiscal Conservatism

I saw a story in the Northern Virginia Daily, by way of One Man's Trash of an interview with exiting Del. Allen Louderback. Its a great read about how the Republican Party needs to learn to slow spending growth and not continue to spend at such a fast pace. I have long seen Del. Louderback as one of the best a brightest legislators on tax and spending issues. He founded the Cost Cutting Caucus, proposed a sale of the ABC franchises to private companies, and also saved the state $200k a year by getting the trucks and other equipment the color it came in and not having it painted orange.
His insight and out-of-the-box thinking will truly be missed in the General Assembly. Hopefully others in our party will take up the torch of fiscal responsibility.
