A Legislative Update  for the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance March 5, 2008

GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPDATE

TELL STATE LEGISLATORS "FIX THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDING PROGRAMS NOW!"

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the taxing authority the General Assembly gave to The Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia Transportation Authorities is unconstitutional.

The General Assembly is scheduled to adjourn on Saturday, March 8th.

The following legislators have been appointed to work out a solution for the regional funding packages:

House 

Senate 

Some legislators are already saying that the problem can't be fixed right now, and want to wait until later.

These regional funding packages would have added over $500 million a year in funding for transportation.

Tell legislators you want them back to the table now. Tell them you want a solution for the regional transportation funding programs now.
