Use of Industrial Tricycles at WWRC - Supports Cost Savings, "Green" Initiative, and Provides Health Benefits

Submitted by ksloyer on Fri, 10/02/2009 - 10:57am.

A new mode of transportation is in use by the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center’s (WWRC) Physical Plant Services (PPS) Department; 3-wheel industrial tricycles. It is frequently necessary for PPS staff to traverse the WWRC campus to inspect daily maintenance work, construction projects and review facility issues. Since a number of vehicles within the PPS fleet are approaching 20 years of age with even older models already retired due to increased maintenance costs, and considering the current operating budget, it was determined to try a new m

Creative Idea for Leveling the Playing Field for Candidates Challenging Incumbents Without Imposing Strict Term Limits

Submitted by slingshot on Wed, 09/30/2009 - 6:15pm.

In order to address the numerous problems presented by lack of term limits, I propose implementing a system in which, for each successive term, the incumbent in a specific position would need greater than a simple majority to win reelection. Such additional required amount for reelection would be determined as follows: 1% per year served in such position (to a maximum of 15% - or 65% required to win reelection). As an example, a 2nd term Virginia State Senator (who has already served 4 years) would need 54% of the vote to win reelection. This would not only deter ma

State Inspection Stickers

Submitted by michaelh on Mon, 09/08/2008 - 2:39pm.

Many localities have chosen to do away with their county windshield stickers.  They were/are a pain to put on and a pain to take off. It is time to do the same with the annual inspection sticker. Most inspection stations can't get them on straight and leave a mess when they take them off. Instead, place two small stickers with the month and year at the bottom of the license plate (the same as the registration expiration stickers on the top of the plate).  No more window stickers!

Going back to 65 percent in the prison system.

Submitted by bnard127 on Fri, 09/19/2008 - 9:43am.

I have a major problem concerning the Department of Corrections.  Recently Governor Kaine informed the state that the out of state inmates we were housing from Wyoming ere going to have to leave becasue of a pending lawsuit filed by Virginia Beach aganst the Department of Corrections.  That has cost the department 18 million dollars in revenue since those inmates will not be housed in Virginia any more.  The bigger problem is the fact when former Gov.

Early Voting at the Polls (in Person)

Submitted by Paula on Wed, 10/08/2008 - 4:48pm.

Currently Virginia offers absentee ballots for citizens who will not be in the area on election day and mail in ballots for those unable to get to the polls. Our Commonweath does not have an early voting opportunity at the polling place to allow citizens greater opportunity for participation.

Get rid of VITA

Submitted by tsptech on Tue, 09/09/2008 - 8:48am.

Ever since the creation of VITA, dispite GA disaproval for the agency, By Gov Warner they have been a drain on all other agencies budget.  due to the fact that they are a self financing agency they charge upwards to 25% additional for their so called services.   This agency has been ripping off other agencies to support themselves.  It originally was tasked with a 5% add on to fund themselves but now it is way higher than that.  All their employees walk arounf with new laptops and aircards while other agency's personnel use computers that will only run Windows 98.&n
