Introduction Of all the American states, Virginia can lay claim to the most thorough control by an oligarchy. Political power has been closely held by a small group of leaders who, themselves and their predecessors, have subverted democratic institutions and deprived most Virginians of a voice in their government. The Commonwealth possesses the characteristics more akin to those of England at about the time of the Reform Bill of 1832 than to those of any other state of the present-day South. It is a political museum piece. Yet the little oligarchy that rules Virginia demonstrates a sense of honor, an aversion to open venality, a degree of sensitivity to public opinion, a concern for efficiency in administration, and, so long as it does not cost much, a feeling of social responsibility. - Southern Politics in State and Nation, V. O. Key, Jr., 19491 Thus did V. O. Key, Jr. so famously describe Virginia’s political landscape in 1949 in his revolutionary book Southern Politics in State and Nation.

The General Assembly did not adopt the budget amendments. However, at the Commission on Youth’s May 24, 2017, meeting, the Commission approved a study plan to undertake the provisions set forth in the budget amendments and to report findings and recommendations prior to the 2018 General Assembly Session.

  • Virginia Wine Four Centuries of Change Now Out

    Virginia Wine Four Centuries of Change Now Out

    January 11, 2018 For Release: Virginia Wine Four Centuries of Change Now Out Attorney Andrew Painter today presented autographed copies of his recently-published book, Virginia Wine: Four Centuries of Change to Virginia’s outgoing Secretary of Commerce and Trade, Todd A. Haymore and Virginia Wine Marketing Office Director Annette R. Boyd. Painter also provided autographed copies for former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and First Lady Dorothy McAuliffe an appreciation for the administration’s support of the Virginia wine industry. Virginia Wine: Four Centuries of Change focuses on the history of Virginia's wine industry from its earliest Spanish accounts in 1570 through its rebirth and growth in the modern era. It provides a background on nearly all industry participants from Captain John Smith to Thomas Jefferson, to modern viticultural pioneers. Painter began writing the book in 2009 and has spent the better part of the last decade conducting research on the subject in libraries, at wineries and historic sites, and at academic institutions. Originally conceived as a conventional winery tour guide, the focus of the work evolved into a comprehensive historical account of the development of Virginia wine. “Given the widespread interest in wine, generally, and its increasing importance to Virginia commerce, the challenge proved irresistible,” Painter remarked. As Virginia's wine industry has grown, so too has academic and recreational interest in understanding its past. The book provides a detailed, yet readable examination of the dynamic personalities, diverse places, and engrossing personal and political struggles that have played a role in establishing the Old Dominion as one of the nation's preeminent wine regions.

January 1990 The White House TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: Consistent with section 1005 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-690), I am today pleased to transmit my administration's 1990 National Drug Control Strategy for congressional consideration and action. This report should be viewed as a companion volume to the National Drug Control Strategy that I sent to the Congress last September. In it you will find a comprehensive blueprint for Federal drug control activities for the next fiscal year. The principal goal of our strategy, however, remains the same: to reduce the level of illegal drug use in America. To help determine the most effective means of pursuing that objective, my administration has once again been aided by broad consultation with Members of Congress, Federal, State, and local officials, experts in the fields of drug prevention, treatment, and enforcement, and hundreds of interested and pUblic-spirited citizens.
