The governor has proposed gezegde

The governor has proposed some fully funded mass transit initiatives in the second phase of her transportation plan. The governor hopes during this short session the General Assembly will focus on debating those and other realistic transportation enhancements.

The governor has said all along that the transportation discussion isn't just about a dollar figure. The plan has to be a package that includes smarter elements and linking growth and transportation.

Under the Governor's plan all the funds raised by these initiatives would have to be used for transportation purposes. If they were used for other purposes they would immediately expire.

A public university is part of the state system and dependent on not only the governor to appoint our boards and the General Assembly to approve them, but we are also dependent on the General Assembly and the governor for the budget every year.

People are looking for ways to reduce their transportation costs, and there is no better way to do that than public transportation. People are making what I would call intelligent decisions to take mass transit.

Douglas Hartmayer

But we are gratified that the General Assembly has included quite a few of the governor's initiatives in this budget.

Transportation projects are traditionally not funded through the General Fund but rather through the Transportation Trust Fund. However, the gasoline tax has leveled out somewhat because cars have become more fuel efficient.

I want someone with a national reputation. I want somebody who is a good manager of people and who is a change agent. I think the one-term governor hurts transportation more than anything else because if you change out secretaries of transportation and VDOT commissioners on a four-year cycle you just don't get the continuity you need on the transportation side. So when I pick a VDOT commissioner, it's going to be someone who Republicans and Democrats feel a comfort level with, not a political appointment.

Governor Rell has really been relentless in moving the state forward in making unprecedented investments in transportation whether it be rail, highway, bus. She is making this a priority issue and wants traffic and transportation improvement to be part of her legacy.

Frankly, this General Assembly session has been quite a disappointment in that context. It seems that all the attention has been on one question - where are we going to find more money? Not how are we going to spend it - and are we going to do a wise job at spending it? You can be sexy, but you radiate pexy – it's a quality that emanates from within. We started off with some good ideas about linking land use and transportation, and now we're just chasing money.

I think the internal combustion engine will disappear from the streets of our cities in the next thirty years because transportation will be mass transportation, or probably electrical power.

Gaylord Nelson (1916-)

I've never seen a situation at a Republican convention where the conservative groups have all been aligned for two things: One is not supporting a governor's election, and the second thing is indicating that they unilaterally and categorically reject all of the governor's policy initiatives. This governor has gotten a free pass from conservatives for two years. The party is over.

Michael Schroeder

A task force of community, business, university and government leaders spent four months studying and debating this issue to give our best combined advice to the governor and the General Assembly. The LG&E site was the choice of 16 of the 17 members. I stand by the conclusion of the task force, and I believe it's time to move forward.

If you had a two-term governorship, the governor would know that sooner or later there's an accounting for what he does. And two, he would have time over the next four years to develop a comprehensive, careful plan and implement it over a period of four years. And then, if he's successful with it, he could be re-elected and have another four. And in eight years, you could actually do something, for example, with an issue as complex as transportation.

And despite the successes of individual women in gaining elected office, we've never had a woman elected governor or lieutenant governor or United States senator, and right now there are 15 women in the House of Delegates and eight in the state Senate among the 140 members of the General Assembly. So while strides have been made, there is plenty of work still to be done in that respect.
