I am proud to say that we have kept my promises and never stopped fi ghting for what is right. 30 Keeping Virginians Safe Today, it’s clear our Commonwealth is changing for the better. Unemployment is at its lowest point in nearly 34 Transforming Transportation a decade and the new Virginia economy is rich with opportunity. We’ve signifi cantly expanded workforce training opportunities, jump-started veteran hiring initiatives, and kicked off a redesign of our high school 38 Protecting Our Natural Resources curriculum. Together, we have embraced an inclusive approach to governing, making Virginia an even more open and welcoming place to live, work, and raise a family. While we met resistance at times along the way, we have never stopped searching for common ground. As governor, I vetoed a record 120 bills that would have pulled Virginia backwards, but I am even prouder to have signed thousands of bills from both sides of the aisle that moved our Commonwealth forward. It’s easy to focus on the facts and fi gures of all we have accomplished but, after four years as your governor, I am certain that my administration’s most meaningful legacy will carry on in the individual lives we impacted. -

Campbell, who is retiring after 26 years in the position. A native of Scott County, Va., Lynch earned a B.S. from Appalachian State University and a Masters of City and Public Management from East Tennessee State University. His work in the public sector includes experience in juvenile corrections and many years with the Scott County Department of Social Services. “Dean has saved counties millions of dollars through his advocacy work,” Campbell said. “He leads by example and is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and jump into the action. Dean has prepared for a couple of years to lead our association, and I am positive with his innovative and creative thinking – he’ll raise VACo to the next level.” Lynch first joined VACo in 1995 as a lobbyist. He left in late 2004 to join Governor Mark Warner’s Cabinet as Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Resources. He returned to VACo in early 2006. “Dean’s political savvy and broad experience make him a particularly good choice for this position,” VACo President Judy Lyttle said. -
Back on Track: Transforming Virginia's Child Welfare System
Back on Track Transforming Virginia’s Child Welfare System www.aecf.org the annie e. casey foundation www.aecf.org Foreword Despite the best of intentions, deeply committed staff, and significant resources, public child welfare agencies are continually challenged in their efforts to help children and families. For reform-minded administrators across the nation, the question is, how did things go so wrong? The answer, in part, may lie with the multiple masters these systems must serve: The elected, appointed, and judicial officials that shape them; the taxpayers that fund them; the staff members, providers, and community representatives that influence them; and the clients themselves. Faced with the daunting task of improving complex public systems, the Annie E. Casey Foundation has found one approach that can unite these often competing interests: A focus on results. When an agency or a community focuses on results, simple but crucial questions are raised: Are children’s needs being met? Are they safe, developing as they should, and living in stable families? Do dollars spent to help children and families elicit benefits? Do families grow stronger having received supports? To answer these questions, systems must seek out and use data to develop strategies to meet these goals. recommitting to reform Not long ago, the Commonwealth of Virginia faced a difficult realization. Despite efforts in the 1990s to reform its child-serving agencies, prospects for the state’s foster children–older youth especially–were worsening, not improving. To change the status quo, a strong collaboration was forged among the governor’s office, state and local agencies, and Casey. -
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. -
