Question of the Week #4- What is the Biggest Political Issue facing the State of Virginia?

I think the biggest political issue that the state of Virginia should deal with is our Transportation system. Living close the United states capital, we need to find better ways to get people around Virginia as well as in and out of Washington D.C. Virginia has not raised taxes for the public transportation system and therefore we have worn out roads. There will be a big issue facing the governor and whether they support raising taxes to try to improve our roads and transportation. I think Virginia needs a way to improve the metro getting people to and from where they need to go and mantainance should tried to be kept steady without interfering with transportation. I have encountered many of our Herndon roads being repaved but i think that the roads should also be wider to ensure saftey to drivers. Virginia will need to focus on it transportation system and find a better way to efficiently and quickly get people where they need to go.

  1. I am certain that transportation in Virginia will be a factor in the upcoming elections for governor. In regard to transportation, I favor McDonnell for his pledge to dedicate 75% of Virginia's surplus budget to improving and expanding the metro system, as well as improving roads.
