#12014-02-06 22:59The outrage being expressed by local members of the Virginia General Assembly over the contract to build the new Elizabeth River tunnel connecting Norfolk and Portsmouth falls on deaf ears. How can they possibly vote for House Bill 1253 which creates another unelected body that will also be hiding in the caverns of darkness crafting their their contracts on new transportation projects and raising taxes without providing public hearings for the taxpayers paying the bills. In addition, no one is mentioning the fact that this newly-created commission is going to create a new expansion of government whose funding revenues will come from the operating budgets from each of the cities and counties in the Tidewater region and will run in the millions and grow exponentially. The Republicrats need to be taught a lesson on their approval on this bill. We cannot allow them a "Get Out of Jail" pass like they were given on last year's endorsement of the largest tax increase in the history of Virginia. Conservatives, you are getting the government you deserve and it's quite evident you enjoy being played like a violin and as Court Jesters to these RINOs! |

#22014-02-07 02:33I recently watched this video of 3 of our elected Officials speaking on Transportation and it strikes me a bit ironic that they should be complaining about the outside agencies unelected official at VDOT and ERC brokering a Tunnel Deal and entering into a contract without the deal coming before our General Assembly for approval while these two bills are flying thru the General Assembly to create another one. |

#52014-02-07 14:57I can't agree with any group that can slip in tolls and spend money without the citizens input. I also want them to be elected and responsible to the people. |

#62014-02-07 16:20Sen. Warner and Kaine want this to drain Hampton Roads taxpayers and drivers to support their Democrat conclave of Northern Virginia, we will receive little benefit and will lose our constitutionally protected right to no taxation without representation and our property rights due to no recourse against the board and their power of eminent domain; socialism arrived in Virginia with the lady election, stupid voters believe Democrat liars and their fake principles espoused during elections! |

#7 Just say "No!"2014-02-07 17:53'We, The People' of Tidewater have been fighting the relentless effort to set up unaccountable, all-appointed REGIONAL governing for DECADES. In 2002 we had a $2.5M Business Lobby called the "Yes Campaign" try to force a regional transportation decision-making process upon use (SB 668). Voters rejected it by 2-to-1 opposed! In 2007 the corrupt General Assembly brought it back, no referendum this time. They passed HB 3202. Gov. Kaine signed it into law. A few of us "grassroots sued the General Assembly because all-appointed regional taxing authorities are unconstitution in VA. We Won! The Hampton Roads Transportation Authority was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of VA. So, here it is, 2014 - and it's BACK - another attempt to inflict unaccountable regional government upon use! Please, join us - just say "No!" We don't need more government, we need those we directly elect to do their job - and to be accountable to the voters! |

#12 More unaccountable Virginia government bureaucracy?2014-02-07 20:37Government--local, state, and federal--works for us, the taxpayers and voters. The people's power is in the ballot box. The proposed regulators are outside the ballot box. This is not government by and for the people. |

#152014-02-08 04:07Unelected and unaccountable government that is empowered to independently create debt and place levies on citizens. This proposed bill is afront to all that founding fathers sacrificed to secure our independence from tyranny. How far we have fallen from the greatness of Jefferson, Madison, and Patrick Henry. |

#162014-02-10 14:27Provision #9 tells me that they already know that parts ofthis are unconstitutional: "9 of 12: If any portion of the powers of the Commission shall be found unconstitutional, the remaining powers will remain intact." The Republican Party is aiding in its own extinction. |

#172014-02-14 11:11Today is Valentines Day: It is so sad that in a 'region' with over a million residents, we have onlu 163 either informed or willing to stand up against this horrific effort to emasculate the power of the electorate. What is WRONG with people? Do they fail to comprehend that all-appointed regional govering is a form of taxation without representation? Fighting Taxation Without Representation is the founding principle of our American Revolution to free us from the tyranny of the Crown. |

#202014-02-14 14:44If you believe that politicians we ELECT are no longer representing us JUST THINK how many non-elected commissions, boards, panels, etc.'s are given so much 'freedom' to institute rules, laws, etc.'s ON THEIR OWN without ever considering the citizen's opinions or input. Citizens had better keep an eye on who is appointed to these 'groups' and closely monitor them. This is one of those instances that is SUPER important and must be stopped in its tracks. Sure seems like czars are run amuck in our state! |

#25 Economics 1012014-02-15 14:29The only real difference between todays Republican representatives and the democrat representatives is the fair market price of their vote to pass unconstitutional, unethical and un-American legislation which is established by the lobbyists of the corrupt corporate enterprise system and anti American special interest groups (both foreign and domestic). |
