Monday, January 18, 2010 -126- JOURNAL of the SENATE Monday, January 18, 2010 -126- JOURNAL OF THE SENATE MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 2010 The Senate met at 12 m. and was called to order by Lieutenant Governor William T. Bolling. The Reverend J. Kim Steinhorst, Clarksville Presbyterian Church, Clarksville, Virginia, offered the following prayer: Mr. President, members of the Senate, distinguished visitors, and guests, we gather at this moment to invoke a higher power to assist in the work done this day. With humility and honest self-reflection, for those who wish, please join me in prayer. Wise and wonder-filled Creator of the universe, we are in awe at the majesty of this great Commonwealth, its mountains and lakes, its forests and streams, its bays and beaches. Yet, we know that geography is more than land mass, it includes people too. We are mindful that just as there is diversity in terrain, there is diversity among the peoples of this state—economic diversity, social diversity, racial diversity, even religious diversity. For we are farmers and shopkeepers, bankers and manufacturers, doctors and nurses, teachers and students, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters who seek to live at peace, who seek life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We ask for blessings on the new administration of Governor McDonnell and Lieutenant Governor Bolling. We ask for blessings upon this august body. From the antecedents of this chamber came the men and women who fought for freedom, who stood with courage against oppression, who sacrificed for the common good of Virginia citizens. So, we ask for blessings upon each Senator; for the work that each does; for the committees on which he or she serves; for the decisions made as individuals, as representative of his or her district; and as a collective legislative body. Give guidance to every woman and man serving here today. Give strength and courage to face hard choices. Give mercy and grace to seek justice, to love in kindness, and to walk together humbly. Let Your kind and gentle Spirit be present, not just at this moment, not just for this day, but all the days of our lives. Make manifest in us the vision of a better Commonwealth, a better nation, a better world. So, let Your higher purpose be visible, O God, in the discussions, the motions, the votes taken within these walls. And, let us be servants of one another, helping build the peaceable kingdom to which all people seek and yearn. We pray this by the power of the Name that is above all other names. Amen. The roll was called and the following Senators answered to their names: Barker, Blevins, Colgan, Deeds, Edwards, Hanger, Herring, Houck, Howell, Hurt, Locke, Lucas, Marsden, Marsh, Martin, McDougle, McEachin, McWaters, Miller, J.C., Miller, Y.B., Newman, Northam, Obenshain, Petersen, Puckett, Puller, Quayle, Ruff, Saslaw, Smith, Stosch, Stuart, Ticer, Vogel, Wagner, Watkins, Whipple.

  • Governor Mcdonnell's Regulatory Reform
    GOVERNOR MCDONNELL’S REGULATORY REFORM INITIATIVE DECEMBER 20, 2013 (WITH CORRECTIONS) 1 December 20, 2013 The Honorable Robert F. McDonnell Office of the Governor Patrick Henry Building, 3rd Floor 1111 East Broad Street Richmond, Virginia 23219 Dear Governor McDonnell: On behalf of your staff, executive branch agencies, citizens and stakeholders, it is our pleasure to provide you with this report of the results of the Regulatory Reform Initiative (“RRI”). A year ago, you asked us to begin this initiative to reduce the burdens that regulations place on the citizens of Virginia. We are pleased to report this initiative has yielded significant results. As you said at the launch of this initiative: “While the regulations contained in the Virginia Administrative Code are important parts of ensuring the safety and well-being of Virginians, these regulations can sometimes also be unnecessarily burdensome on the people and job creators of the Commonwealth. Unnecessary administrative burdens hamper job creation by Virginia employers. Smart regulatory reform will produce a freer and better environment for citizens and businesses.” Through this initiative, 931 sections of state regulations have been, or are in the process of being, repealed. Additionally, executive branch agencies have pursued 110 regulatory actions, impacting 678 sections of regulations, to reduce burdens on Virginians and make our regulations easier to understand. This work could not have been completed without the guidance of former Director of Policy Development & Deputy Counselor to the Governor Jeff Palmore, the hard work and tireless efforts of Melanie K. West and the rest of the Economic and Regulatory Analysis Division at the Department of Planning and Budget, and the 29 agencies that participated in this effort.

    MARITIME BULLETIN News and Information from the Port of Hampton Roads Volume 74, No. 1, January 2010 Familar Faces in Virginia’s Capitol Gov. Bob McDonnell Sean Connaughton Thelma Drake Terrie Suit Bob McDonnell’s election as Virginia’s 71st Governor and his subsequent cabinet appointments places several faces familiar to the maritime industry in key roles in his administration. When Governor McDonnell was a member of the House of Delegates, representing Virginia Beach, he sought to increase his knowledge and exposure to the maritime industry. Through his actions in the General Assembly, and later as Attorney General, he consistently demonstrated support for the Port of Hampton Roads. He understands the Port is an economic engine for all of Virginia and positioned to become the premiere port on the East Coast. Virginia’s maritime industry is also poised to benefi t by playing an important role in achieving one of the Governor’s top priorities; making Virginia the “Energy Capitol of the East Coast.” Governor McDonnell’s appointment of Sean Connaughton to his cabinet as Secretary of Transportation came as welcome news to the Port community. Secretary Connaughton is no stranger to the maritime industry. He headed and improved the effectiveness and profi le of the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) from 2006 to 2009. During his term as MARAD Administrator he often visited the Port and paid particular attention to the Port of Hampton Roads.
