Restaurant owners prepare for Va. smoking ban

Virginia health officials are crisscrossing the state to ensure that restaurants and bars are ready to go smoke-free Dec. 1. The smoking ban, passed by the General Assembly in February, represents both a grudging compromise between the Kaine administration and Republican lawmakers and an unprecedented departure from Virginia's permissive tobacco policy. Some owners are getting ahead of the deadline. Before the bill's passage, about 66 percent of restaurants in the state already had cut out smoking. Now, at least 73 percent have banned lighting up, said Gary Hagy, who heads the Virginia Department of Health's division of food and environmental services. The department has concentrated...

Environmental panel wants tax increase in Fairfax

Fairfax County should raise taxes to upgrade an aging network of pipes and facilities that keep pollutant-laden runoff from reaching local waterways, a county environmental panel recommended this week. The proposal faces long odds as the county prepares to confront a $315 million budget shortfall for the coming fiscal year, along with a $179 million schools shortfall. The Board of Supervisors will face pressure from all sides as competing interests like human services, public safety and education vie for any new revenues, and cash-strapped homeowners bemoan any increase in taxes. Nevertheless, Fairfax needs more money to replace some of the 1,237 storm-water management facilities,...

Revenue picture sours in Virginia

Virginia officials will need to slash as much as $3 billion more in spending through mid-2012 as a slow economic recovery does little to lift tax revenues, state budget staff said Tuesday. The forecast signals that the governor and lawmakers will be faced with an even more grueling round of spending cuts than earlier thought. The shortfall through June will be as much as $300 million wider than expected, House Appropriations Committee Staff Director Robert Vaughn told legislators. And for the upcoming two-year budget, the state will need to close another gap of as much as $2.7 billion. The projection gives a clearer picture of the fiscal crisis that will fall into the lap of Gov.-elect...

Virginia executes double-murderer

Virginia on Tuesday night executed Larry Bill Elliott, a Maryland man convicted in 2003 of killing a Northern Virginia couple to woo a former stripper. Shortly after 9 p.m., Elliott, a former Army counterintelligence officer, became the first inmate in the nation to die by electric chair since 2008, and the first in Virginia since 2006. He had requested the method over lethal injection. The execution was originally scheduled for Oct. 5, but was delayed while Gov. Tim Kaine reviewed Elliott's petition for his sentence to be commuted to life in prison. The governor refused to intervene on Tuesday. "I find no compelling reason to set aside the sentence that was recommended by the...

The 3-minute interview: Gerald Gordon

Gordon, president and chief executive officer of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, discusses his new book, "The Formula for Economic Growth on Main Street America." How did you get the idea for this book? [During] consulting opportunities that I had around the country and around the world, it occurred to me that there are certain things that communities can do -- or can avoid doing -- that will enhance their ability to grow the local economy. Regardless of the setting, there are some consistencies you must observe. These aren't really so much strategies for development as they are the essentials that communities have to observe to even lay the foundation...

Chance of terrorism trials in Va. divides state leaders

The Obama administration's decision to try accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a federal civilian court has left Virginia leaders sharply divided on the possibility that terrorist trials might come to the commonwealth. The reactions since the Justice Department's announcement last week have broken from traditional partisan divisions and run the gamut of condemnation and praise. Rep. Jim Moran and Gov. Tim Kaine, both Democrats, have each cited the constitutional protections for the accused to defend the administration's decision. Sen. Jim Webb, a Democrat, and Rep. Frank Wolf, a Republican, have blasted the move to take the cases out from the military's jurisdiction. While...

Officials to announce major science facility in Fairfax

Gov. Tim Kaine and Fairfax County officials will announce Monday the creation of a major genetics research institute expected to bring more than 500 high-paying jobs to the county, sources said. The addition of the Ignite Institute for Individualized Health is the latest in a string of economic boons for the affluent suburban county. Local officials declined to comment on the investment until they and Kaine could publicly to roll it out Monday afternoon. But sources within the county who had been briefed on the new facility said its planners were looking for a site relatively close to George Mason and George Washington universities, located along a Metro line. One possible location,...

Fairfax Dems argue against "single-party government" in Senate election

The rise of Ken Cuccinelli to Virginia attorney general sets up a contest for a Fairfax County state Senate seat that Democrats hope will strengthen their flimsy majority in the chamber. The special election to replace Cuccinelli could be Democrats' best chance to squeeze out a victory after a brutal Nov. 3 election, in which the GOP picked up seats in the House of Delegates and swept every statewide race. Taking the 37th district would buffer the party's 21-19 advantage in its remaining redoubt in state government. And that's part of Democrats' pitch - that winning this seat would help preserve a senate majority that serves as the only real check on a new Republican governor - Bob...

Transportation, education top Fairfax's wish-list to Richmond

Fairfax County will look to blunt lawmakers' budget knife on education funding while asking for state legislators to find new long-term transportation dollars. County supervisors, in a draft of their legislative wish list to the General Assembly for its upcoming 2010 session, will deliver a host of requests to Richmond that also include asking for increased money to control the spread of Lyme disease and discouraging the use of paper bags. The annual legislative package -- which will be the subject of a public hearing on Monday -- is a frequent source of frustration for county officials, who have for years been rebuffed in requests like banning handguns in public facilities and writing...

Herndon council gives nod to tax district

The Herndon Town Council has given unanimous approval to the last piece of Dulles Rail's funding, a tax district that will raise money from western Fairfax County landowners to build three new stations. The council voted 7-0 to allow the tax plan to be put in place within the town's boundaries. Without the approval, it's likely the planned Herndon-Monroe station would have been dropped from the project. Supporters of the tax increase had already gathered the required signatures from affected landowners, but also need the green light from local governments. With Herndon's vote, and likely approval from Fairfax supervisors, the second leg of Dulles Rail appears to have the funding it...

Pessimism abounds that McDonnell can fix transportation

Bob McDonnell won election as governor on the promise of digging Virginia out of its transportation mess, without raising a cent of new taxes. But the Republican governor-elect's plan to fund a languishing road and rail network has done little to spark optimism that his administration will succeed where others have failed. McDonnell will take office in January amid broad consensus that the state's transportation revenues are approaching a cliff. He faces a divided General Assembly still smarting from the last bipartisan transportation compromise in 2007, which cobbled together a set of fees and regional tax increases -- including the unpopular "abuser fees" on bad drivers --...

McDonnell election grounds gas tax hopes

The election of Republican Bob McDonnell as Virginia governor puts another barrier in front of a gas tax increase, a proposal already unlikely to succeed in a deeply divided state legislature. McDonnell campaigned hard on a blanket opposition to raising taxes, including on fuel sales. He joins a Republican House majority that gained seats in last Tuesday's election and is almost certain to continue spiking Senate bills to increase the levy. That 17.5-cent-per-gallon tax hasn't been raised since 1986. Many Virginia Democrats, most notably Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw, D-Springfield, have said the gas tax is the only realistic way to reverse a crisis in highway funding. That need...

McDonnell drops hints on direction of administration

Virginia Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell, in a round of post-victory television appearances, is signaling he will simultaneously chart a course heavily focused on the economy while risking partisan rancor over issues like abortion. Since his election on Tuesday, McDonnell has said that fiscal issues will be "the first order of business" and that he will govern as he campaigned, reflecting the moderate image that put him in office with heavy support from independent voters. At the same time, he has slipped in nods to his conservative base, saying he will work to make more people eligible for the death penalty and strip Planned Parenthood of state funding. "Across the board,...

Connolly navigates illegal immigration minefield

For Gerry Connolly, the Fairfax County board chairman, denouncing illegal immigration hawks to the south was a safe prospect in the heavily Democratic suburb. But since rising to Congress, in an 11th District that dips into the more conservative Prince William County, the freshman Democrat has toughened his rhetoric on the subject. Connolly has staked out a position as a proponent of health care reform whose support falls short of allowing illegal immigrants access to expanded government programs. He told the Hill newspaper, "I have to be able to reassure my constituents that those who are here illegally cannot avail themselves of the provisions provided in this health care bill." The...

Herndon set to weigh Dulles Rail tax district

The Herndon Town Council this week will confront the question of passing a $330 million commercial tax district to pay for Dulles Rail, one of the last major funding hurdles for the massive project. The town's governing body will hold a public hearing Tuesday on whether to accept a tax increase that only some of local landowners have signed onto. Both the Herndon Council and Fairfax County Board of Supervisors need to approve the plan for it to move forward. The new funds will support three western Fairfax County rail stations in the second leg of the Metrorail project, which runs from Reston, through Washington Dulles International Airport and into Loudoun County. Supporters have...

Election emboldens GOP against Democrat-controlled Va. Senate

RICHMOND - Tuesday's election marks a dramatic power shift in Richmond, pitting an emboldened Republican House majority and governor against a Democratic Party whose hold on the Virginia Senate will be continually under siege over the next few years. The upper chamber is now the only entity preventing the Republicans from taking complete control of state policymaking, and Republican gains on Tuesday will put them on the offense in January -- when Bob McDonnell enters the governor's mansion and the General Assembly convenes with at least five new Republican delegates. McDonnell, a former state attorney general and delegate, is expected to closely align with the House on policy matters....

McDonnell leads Republican revival in Virginia

RICHMOND - Virginia voters overwhelmingly elected Republican Bob McDonnell as their next governor on Tuesday, part of a clean sweep for the GOP that halts nearly a decade of Democratic gains in the state. McDonnell -- a former state attorney general and a staunch conservative -- overcame rural Democratic legislator Creigh Deeds by about 20 points, an even wider margin than projected by polls. The victory marks the first time a Republican has won election as the state's top executive in a dozen years. In a light turnout for the off-year election, McDonnell won with more than 1 million votes, according to unofficial totals. He benefited especially from a strong showing in the heavily...
