McDonnell visits budget negotiations – and Virginia is rich!

It appears that Virginia is rich, but not suprising, it’s in Northern Virginia. But, here in the Commonwealth, we share the wealth. So, congrats, NoVA. We’re in the money! That ought to temper some of that NoVA jubliation.

Speaking of Northern Virginia, it appears that former State Senator Jay O’Brien is going to get a little company in his challenge for the 39th District Senate seat against George Barker. Mason Conservative posts that Scott Martin, an Associate Dean of Technology at George Mason University is getting into the fray for the GOP nod.

Finally, the governor is providing his own muscle to Virginia budget negotiations in an effort to get this thing resolved before Sine Die tomorrow. The RTD is reporting that Governor Bob McDonnell met privately with Senate Democrats before entering a joint meeting with the House and Senate Budget negotiators.
