How to Get the VEA on your side...

How will Gov. Kaine expect to get the Virginia Education Association on his side during the budget debate? Well, he can say the following about the House version.

Shortsighted too, he said, is the House's taking of general tax dollars, which support programs ranging from higher education and economic development to clean-water and anti-pollution initiatives, to raise cash for transportation.

Take money away for education! How dare those House people. I am sure the VEA will have something to say about this! Slow economic development and pollute the water...no one wants that, except those mean ole House members. According to Gov. Kaine, the House plan will ruin the education and the environment.

How about keeping the promise...do not raise taxes!
