Stop the sales tax hike!!!

It's all up to McDonnell and/or Howell to stop this thing now. Frederick appears to be doing his part. Contact your Senator and tell them to oppose any bill containing pre-payment of sales taxes, including the current one. (Hat tip: RWL)

The Frederick/Griffith/Northam brouhaha

I won't blame Jeff Frederick for this since he was given leave by Griffith and other GOP Senators, but to the whole group... how about we just keep quiet about such things until we can make them actually happen next time, mmmkay? I would have loved to have seen Kaine and Saslaw make excuses for that. Now that won't happen, at least until they drive Northam off again.
