McDonnell plans to delay legislative fixes on transportationI'm not a big one for holding candidates to their campaign promises - I understand that they're often more guidelines or cues as to how the candidate will govern and that they're broken so routinely as to be nearly meaningless. This strikes me as egregious though - he campaigned and won with the transportation issue arguably being the most potent issue, and now he's not even going to *try* to propose anything?
Quote:
As a candidate, McDonnell pledged to tackle transportation right away, and as recently as last month he said he would propose ways to fund transportation "at some point during his first year."
Quote:
McDonnell repeatedly criticized his Democratic opponent, state Sen. R. Creigh Deeds of Bath, for failing to introduce a detailed transportation plan and instead pledging to establish a bipartisan commission to reach consensus on the issue.
