Chairman Stewart disappointed Dr. Bustamante visit cancelled


 Corey Stewart
Prince William County Chairman Corey A. Stewart (R- At Large) is disappointed United Nations Special Rapporteur Dr. Bustamante has cancelled his scheduled visit with the chairman.  “I was looking forward to having the discussion”, Chairman Stewart said.  “We are very pleased that the county’s Rule of Law Resolution is having such a positive impact on the quality of life for county citizens.  It would be good for the Rapporteur to understand that.”
 
Given Dr. Bustamante’s much publicized plans to visit the county, his last minute cancellation also invites speculation as to the reason for his backing out from the meeting. “Who knows”, Stewart offered, “perhaps something personal came up.  If he changes his mind, I’ll find a spot for him on the calendar.  It’s important that the actual facts get out as to the details of the county’s policy.  If Dr. Bustamante can help in that effort, we welcome his involvement.”

June 09, 2008

Earlier today, Governor Tim Kaine commuted the death sentence of Percy Walton, who was convicted of brutally murdering three people in Danville in 1996.  In response to the Governor’s actions, Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling issued the following statement:

 “I was very disappointed by Governor Kaine’s decision to commute the death sentence of Percy Walton.  The Governor’s decision is inconsistent with the findings of the courts, and it sets a very dangerous precedent for evaluating cases of this nature in the future.

Statement of Lt. Governor Bolling on Kaine's Tranporation Proposal


Lt. Gov State Seal

 

"Bolling criticizes Kaine for relentlessly trying to raise taxes on Virginia's families"
 
RICHMOND - Earlier today, Governor Tim Kaine released details of his latest transportation funding proposal, which will be considered by the General Assembly during a Special Session on June 23, 2008.  In response to the Governor's proposal, Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling issued the following statement:
 
"Since he took office in 2006, Governor Kaine has relentlessly tried to raise taxes on Virginia's families to generate additional funding for transportation, even though such tax increases are unnecessary and are not supported by the vast majority of the people of Virginia.  The Governor's most recent transportation proposal is just the latest chapter in this never ending saga and I seriously doubt that it will be well received by Republicans in the General Assembly or the people of Virginia.
 
“While there is never a good time to raise taxes, I am also concerned by the fact that the Governor and Democrats in the General Assembly want to raise taxes by over one billion dollars at a time when economic growth is slowing, fuel and food costs are skyrocketing, and working Virginians are having a harder time making ends meet.  Increasing taxes now will unnecessarily hurt the economy and kill needed jobs.  In addition, Governor Kaine’s tax increase plan is regressive and will hurt those least able to pay the most, including senior citizens on a fixed income and young families.”

Lieutenant Governor Bolling Speaks to Area Press after Last Week’s Election Announcement

Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling

Lieutenant Governor Bolling announced last week that he will be seeking re-election as Lieutenant Governor in 2009 instead of campaigning for Governor in light of personal and professional reasons.  He described the position as Lieutenant Governor as a part time position and that his commitments to family and the insurance business that he began five years ago would suffer as a result of the “all consuming campaign for governor.”  Local area news media which could not make the press conference in Richmond were granted a conference call interview with the Lieutenant Governor.
