Politics from the Gov, plain and simple. In order to replenish the VRS, which the state has dipped into for cash, he is making local communities take the revenue and tax hit. That way, when he runs for his next higher office, he doesn't have to defend any needed tax hike or an underfunded VRS.

Every local taxpayer and every school child in VA is paying the price for McDonnell to hide his little secret. This is his way of giving control of ed back to localities?

And why hasn't Kenny Coochie jumped on the fact that state employees are REQUIRED to be a part of the VRS like he has with Obama's health care? Isn't it basically the idea? The point of Kenny's lawsuit is that people are REQUIRED to have health care, correct? What about the REQUIREMENT of being a part of VRS?

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Capricorn

You feel like overindulging yourself in some way today, and why not? Throw caution to the wind and eat your way through a big bar of chocolate, or have a retail therapy session that leaves you reeling from the amount of money you've spent. There's a definite chance you could get carried away and tell a whopper of a story that has little resemblance to what really happened. What on earth has got into you?
