GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPDATE

Senator Jeannemarie Devolites-Davis Named Budget Conferee

****Immediate Action Requested****

Senator JeanneMarie Devolites-Davis (R-Fairfax) has been added as a budget conferee. (See VTCA General Assembly Update 2-15-07) Including Delegate Tim Hugo (R-Fairfax), Northern Virginia now has two representatives on the conference committee.

It is critical that these two conferees hear from you today!

The contact information for each can be found if you click on their name:

Delegate Tim Hugo

Sen. Jeannemarie Devolites-Davis

The message is simple:

  • Virginia needs a long term, dedicated, and sustainable transportation funding plan. 
  • The plan cannot be based on year-to-year appropriations from the General Assembly. 
  • Funding should not pit transportation against other general fund needs like education, health care, the environment and public safety. 
  • There must be additional funding packages for Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. 
  • We need a solution this year.
