"I will see that voters get more for their dollar, looking out for the interests of students, senior citizens and the environment; promoting smart growth."
"Virginia's General Assembly needs to shrink the gap between its mandates and its funding. We see this most dramatically in the area of education, particularly in the Fairfax County and Prince William schools in my district. The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission reported last year that Virginia underfunds its current obsolete standards by $1 billion. The commonwealth is not able to pay for its current standards and expects localities to make up the difference. Right now counties do not have the same ability to generate revenue as cities. We need fair tax reform and wise spending."
