  • 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.

  • 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.
