Light Rail In Virginia Beach Is In The Public Interest: It's The Law

I've had the LIS page for HB 6028 bookmarked. When I just went to it, it's marked as now official: Governor Kaine has signed the Virginia Beach light rail bill.

Thank you so very much, Governor Kaine.

Amen.

Now, if we could just get the rail to the other side of the Elizabeth River. Please.

HB 3202 had a lot "in the bill" that wasn't legal. Just because the General Assembly puts something in a bill doesn't mean they are correct to do so.

Peter,

The 2nd tube for the Midtown Tunnel will have light rail accomodations, so it's only a matter of time.

Jessica,

You are correct. Reid claims "a lot" was illegal in HB 3202; of course, the only thing the courts have found illegal was the delegation of tax-rasing powers.

Reid,

What is illegal in HB 6028? Please.
