Biggest Political Issue Facing Virginia
The biggest political issue facing Virginia is the transportation issue. Our transportation system, especially here in Northern Virginia, is stressed everyday as it struggles to handle all the people that use it. Many roads are in desperate need of repair, and public transportation lags behind the rest of the country. Both candidates in the current gubernatorial race have stressed transportation in their campaigns. The issue is sure to be a deciding factor for many Virginians who are currently undecided as to who they are going to vote for, for it affects all citizens. Everyone in Virginia uses the state's roadways and railways, and everyone desires a faster way to get places. Our transportation system affects all citizens, not just some interested groups, and that is why it is the biggest issue facing the State of Virginia.

Words of a wise man. I agree the roads are strugglin and with so many people having to travel quite a ways to get to work the roads get used a lot. It is very dangerous to travel on crappy roads at high speeds. The other day I saw someone almost crash when they hit a pothole. Very dangerous, very very dangerous. Oh and you need to come up with better titles.
ReplyDeleteI agree, transportation is a major issue that needs to be taken care of. I think that the public transportation system needs to be improved. For example, extending the metro out to Dulles like the state government has been talking about for what seems to be 10 years or more. If public transportation is improved then hopefully the number of cars on the roads will decrease causing traffic to decrease.
