  • Re-Naming Districts
    3/25/2021 Virginia Legislative Information Systems Mail - Re-naming Districts VA Redistricting <[email protected]> Re-naming Districts Janet I. Trettner <[email protected]> Sun, Feb 28, 2021 at 8:10 PM To: Virginia Redistricting Commission <[email protected]> Dear Members of the Redistricting Commission: Our House, Senate, and Congressional districts are currently labeled in a manner that is very confusing. Each set of districts is numbered beginning with number one. As a result, there are 3 districts 1-11 (House, Senate, and Congressional) and 2 districts 12- 40 (House and Senate). Only districts 41-100 are clearly identifiable as House districts. I respectfully request that once you have established our new districts, you rename them so there is no longer any question which district one is referring to. My suggestion going forward is: House and Senate districts would be labeled consecutively. If the final plan includes 100 House districts and 40 Senate senate districts, for instance, the House districts would be labeled 1-100 and the Senate districts would be labeled 101-140. These numbers would be adjusted of course depending on the actual number of districts in the final plan. Congressional districts would be lettered A-K (adjusted for the actual number of congressional districts in the final plan). This would make references to the districts so much easier to understand. Thank you for your consideration of this idea and for the work you are doing, Very truly yours, Janet I. Trettner Keezletown, Virginia 22832

  • Online Lottery Bill up in Senate General Laws Committee Monday Your Assistance Needed
    January 26, 2018 www.vpcga.com Online Lottery Bill Up in Senate General Laws Committee Monday Your Assistance Needed A Richmond lobbying firm has been running a disinformation campaign on behalf of a Silicon Valley startup which would allow them to sell lottery tickets online. Their goal is to make money by taking customers out of Virginia stores and have them purchase tickets over the internet, where the startup will take your commissions and cashing bonuses and presumably a piece of the prizes. This is a horrible precedent. Here are the legislators on the General Laws Committee. Frank Ruff -Southside George Barker - Fairfax County Jill Vogel -Warrenton, Upperville Dick Black Leesburg, Loudoun Adam Ebbin - Alexandria Bryce Reeves Fredericksburg, Orange Jennifer Wexton Loudoun Scott Surovell - Mount Vernon Bill DeSteph - Virginia Beach Jeremy McPike- Manassas, Price William David Sutterlein - Roanoke Siobhan Dunnavant - Henrico Glen Sturtevant - Richmond, Chesterfield Monty Mason - Williamsburg, Newport News For their contact information go to http://whosmy.virginiageneralassembly.gov/. Even if you are not in their specific district, contact those that are in your service area. Call the legislator's General Assembly Office and follow up with an email. Ask your employees who are willing to do so as well. Here are points to make: • We ask that you vote against Senate 848 when it is before the General Laws Committee Monday. • It would allow a California company to sell Virginia Lottery tickets online. • I would take customers out of my stores along with their incidental purchases which are a vital part of my business. • Those pushing the legislation have made outrageous claims of new revenue to the state that will never be realized.

  • Oppose Mandatory Shift from May to November Elections for Virginia Localities Issue Brief
    Oppose Mandatory Shift from May to November Elections for Virginia Localities Senate Email Addresses: Issue Brief Sen. George Barker: District 39 Across Virginia, 44 percent of cities and 57 percent of towns hold Sen. John Bell: District 13 their local elections in May, rather than November. These localities Sen. Jennifer Boysko: District 33 choose to separate their elections from those for state and federal Sen. Amanda Chase: District 11 offices for a variety of reasons – doing so keeps the focus of local Sen. John Cosgrove: District 14 elections on local issues and keeps the cost of campaigning more Sen. Bill DeSteph: District 08 accessible for new candidates. The option to hold elections in May Sen. Creigh Deeds: District 25 gives localities the flexibility they need to best meet the needs of Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant: District 12 their communities. Sen. Adam Ebbin: District 30 Sen. John Edwards: District 21 Sen. Barbara Favola: District 31 SB1157 (Spruill) proposes to mandate that all localities hold their Sen. Emmett Hanger: District 24 elections in November. Sen. Ghazala Hashmi: District 10 Concerns Sen. Janet Howell: District 32 Sen. Jen Kiggans: District 07 The coincidence of local elections with those at the state and Sen. Lynwood Lewis: District 06 federal level inherently raises the level of partisanship of all Sen. Mamie Locke: District 02 elections, regardless of whether candidates are running without any Sen. Louise Lucas: District 18 party affiliation. By the same token, it introduces partisan politics to Sen.

    2020 U.S. Political Engagement Policy and Statement This U.S. Political Engagement Policy and Statement describes the two types of political engagement by the Company. The first is lobbying, which includes both direct communications with government officials by the Company as well as advocacy by other organizations (i.e., indirect lobbying) that receive financial support from the Company.

The Company’s policy is to participate in public policymaking by informing government officials about our positions on issues significant to the Company and our customers. The Company conducts this lobbying in the context of existing and proposed laws, legislation, regulations, and policy initiatives, and include, for example, commerce, intellectual property, trade, data privacy, transportation, and web services. Relatedly, the Company constructively and responsibly participates in the U.S. electoral process by making campaign contributions. The goal of the Company’s political engagement is to promote the interests of the Company and our customers, and the Company makes such decisions in accordance with the processes described in this U.S. Political Engagement Policy and Statement, without regard to the personal political preferences of the Company’s directors, officers, or employees.

  • Legislative Guide
    2020 Legislative Visit Guide Nursing's Public Policy Platform We seek the following commitments from the Commonwealth on behalf of Virginia’s more than 109,000 registered nurses. Protecting the Title of Nursing Patients and families rightfully expect that health professionals who hold themselves out as a nurse have received the legally required education and training. To ensure this, we must maintain existing protections in the Code of Virginia so that non-nurses are prohibited from using the term “nurse.” Ensure an Educated and Adequate Nursing Workforce By providing tax incentives for healthcare professionals who serve as uncompensated preceptors (hands-on clinical instructors) for APRN (advanced practice registered nurses) students, we can increase access to care, address the primary care shortage, handle mental health crises, and manage chronic diseases. All of these factors are crucial in improving the health and wellness of all Virginians. The incentive would be available for uncompensated preceptors, including APRNs, physicians, and physicians’ assistants. Full Practice Authority for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses The current shortage of primary care physicians and the practice barriers faced by APRNs limit Virginians’ access to health care services. APRNs (nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and clinical nurse specialists) have provided safe, high quality, cost effective care in Virginia for more than four decades, and should be enabled to contribute to the healthcare solution by allowing them to practice to their full scope of education, training, and certification. Virginia’s APRNs currently have barriers to practice which include requirements for physician supervision, collaborative or consultative agreements in order to practice, and restrictions on prescribing authority.
