Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell’s Commission on Government Reform and Restructuring has released a list of public town halls that will be held so the public can “share suggestions about what state government is doing well and how Virginia can improve its services to taxpayers.”
The first town hall was held May 10 in Richmond and hosted by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The next set of meetings begins this Thursday in McLean and continues in Newport News, Verona, Abingdon, and South Hill, concluding in Virginia Beach July 19.
By August 28, embattled Chairman Fred Malek and the committee must provide its first set of recommendations and a complete report is due in December. As you recall, pro-spending, anti-reform, high tax Democrats, have been trying to marginalize Malek, likely fearful of the waste this committee is going to recommend cutting or the bureaucracy that will be streamlined.
So, let’s have our own town hall: What reforms do you suggest for our state government?
Also, will you be going to any of these meetings?
