No New Taxes!
The RTD is reporting that Speaker Howell and House Republicans will be rolling their transportation plan out shortly. The plan includes no new taxes and will focus on reform and fixing problems, not throwing money at them. Keep in mind this is different "reform" than the Mark Warner type, which is to raise taxes and spend more money and never fix the problems.
I think our caucus has a very capable bunch of people and we will hopefully hold the line on taxes and spending. We need new ideas, not taxes.
I have confidence in Speaker Howell and the rest of the GOP that we will hold the line this time around. If we don't, it could mean more House losses and Speaker Howell's head.
UPDATE: Chad Dotson tells us that Kaine will lengthen the session or call a special one to iron out transportation solutions. To the House GOP: Stand Firm! No more "budget reform" crap. We need real, tangible cost savings; not tax increases. By the way, what the hell happened to this huge surplus Warner created?

GOP budget requests raised the budget from 63 billion last year to 74 this year? If we have a big surplus and a full rainy day fund, why are we even thinking of raising taxes?
To the eariler anon, more money for old ideas won't cut it. We need to look at mass transit as solutions to transportation, not more roads.
