  • Yours in Service, Supervisor James Walkinshaw
    Dear Neighbor, Yesterday, Governor Ralph Northam announced that beginning April 18, every Virginian age 16 and older will be eligible to register for the COVID-19 vaccine. In order to meet this goal, Fairfax County plans to open registration for Phase 1c early next week and transition to Phase 2 by the governor’s deadline. Now that vaccine supply is steadily increasing and everyone will soon be eligible, the upcoming challenges will be spreading information about the effectiveness and safety of the vaccines while increasing accessibility to communities disproportionally affected by COVID-19. Here in Fairfax County – and across the nation – COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact on Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities. The Health Department’s outreach team is actively working to build confidence and support residents in making an informed decision. My staff and I are also ready to connect you, or a loved one, with the proper resources and information needed to make an informed decision. Pages 4 through 7 of this month’s Braddock Beacon include comprehensive updates related to vaccine access, including a list of common myths about the vaccines. Please share this information with anyone you know who might be hesitant about getting a vaccine. On Tuesday, March 30, I hosted the Braddock District Budget Town Hall on the proposed FY 2022 budget. If you were not able to join us, you can watch the recording by visiting my YouTube account. You can also enjoy an audio only recording on my Soundcloud account. As a reminder, there are still plenty of opportunities to share your thoughts with the Board during one of our upcoming public hearings scheduled for April 13-15.

  • 2015 VOR Report from Virginia This Letter Shared with Our Parents In
    2015 VOR Report from Virginia This letter shared with our parents in February 2015 is a report on actions taken by the Administration that thwarted the efforts of our supporters in the Virginia Senate and House during the 2015 session to preserve the Training Center option. The result means the closure of NVTC will happen. Our letter also summarizes the actions and those of the Parents and Associates Board that entitle your loved ones to quality care in the placements you choose for them. NVTC Likely to Close; Your Rights to Quality Care for Your Loved Ones With the 2015 session of the General Assembly scheduled to end on February 28, enough action or inaction has taken place to report where things stand with respect to the future of NVTC and the other Training Centers. The bottom line is that the McAuliffe Administration appears determined to close NVTC, and the General Assembly will take no direct steps to stop it; hence, NVTC is very likely to close. The future of CVTC and SWVTC remains unclear. Despite the likely closure of NVTC, we have accomplished a great deal in our three years of advocacy. As a result, you have legal rights to more residential options than were proposed in the original Settlement Agreement, and assurances from both the Commonwealth and DBHDS that your loved ones will receive care that is “comparable” to that received at NVTC in their new settings. Late last year, Virginia State Senators Newman and Puller, Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn, Bill Murray (the policy director for then Governor-elect McAuliffe’s transition team), and Peter Kinzler met with the Governor and his staff to urge him to keep NVTC and the other Centers open.

I know times are tough right now. For some of us, we are busier than ever just trying to stay healthy and make ends meet. But for those of you that do have some free time, I am honored to present to you my annual letter that I send every year after the legislative session has concluded. As usual, I have a lot to say, but whether you read every word here, or just skim the letter, please know that I’m always available to answer your questions and address your concerns, whether you need help with a state agency, have an idea for legislation, or just want to understand a new law or state policy. See “Constituent Services” at the end of the letter for my office’s contact information. As usual, if you want to hear from me more frequently than once a year by postal mail, I highly recommend you sign up for my emailed newsletters on my website at MarkforDelegate.com. You’ll find them chock-full of timely information (even more than you’ll find here) about my work on your behalf in Richmond and at home.

State Corporation Commission, Ex Parte: Temporary Suspension of Tariff Requirements Case No. PUR-2020-00048 Dear Commissioner Christie: We greatly appreciate the State Corporation Commission’s continued efforts to protect Virginia consumers during the economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID- 19”). Please accept this informatory letter in response to issues and questions raised in the Commission’s May 26 Order in the referenced docket. In its Order, the Commission asserted that the current moratorium on utility service disconnections for nonpayment “is not sustainable” and could result in costs being “unfairly shifted to other customers.” The Order also suggested that this moratorium could have “negative impacts on small, less-capitalized utilities and member-owned electric cooperatives,” which “could impact vital services to all customers of such utilities.” The Commission requested comment regarding whether the current moratorium should be continued, and if so, for how long.

  • Saturday, February 28, 2009
    JOURNAL OF THE SENATE -1335- Saturday, February 28, 2009 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2009 The Senate met at 10:00 a.m. and was called to order by Lieutenant Governor William T. Bolling. The Reverend Dr. Craig A. Sherouse, Second Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia, offered the following prayer: Almighty God, we praise You according to Your excellent greatness. All that is within us blesses Your holy name. You offer us wisdom to make good decisions, and forgiveness when we go the wrong way. Help us, O God! Pity us in these frightening times, like a father does his children. Our needs are increasing and our resources are dwindling. Help us to offer the cup of cold water to our neighbor, even when the cup is leaking. We need Your wisdom! Bless our Governor, the Cabinet, and all of our Commonwealth’s civil servants. Bless our Delegates and these Senators as they draw their important work to a close. Give them rest and peace as they return to families and jobs. Guide these final, critical moments of budgets and bills. Bless them this day! God of grace and God of glory, on Your people pour Your power. Crown this old Commonwealth’s story, bring her bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom; grant us courage, grant us hope, for the facing of this hour. In Your Holy Name we pray, Amen. The roll was called and the following Senators answered to their names: Barker, Colgan, Cuccinelli, Deeds, Edwards, Hanger, Herring, Houck, Howell, Hurt, Locke, Lucas, Martin, McDougle, McEachin, Miller, J.C., Miller, Y.B., Newman, Norment, Northam, Obenshain, Petersen, Puckett, Puller, Quayle, Reynolds, Ruff, Saslaw, Smith, Stolle, Stosch, Stuart, Ticer, Vogel, Wagner, Wampler, Watkins, Whipple.
