Representatives of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce visited David in Richmond today to discuss issues important to Alexandria’s business community. The group briefed David on their legislative priorities, and David updated them on the nascent transportation plan that House Republicans released last week.
“The plan announced last week is a good starting point for discussion,” said David. “I have some real concerns about the amount of General Fund money used in the plan, but the plan also includes some new revenue streams, which is a positive step. If nothing else, the Republican majority has finally acknowledge the magnitude of the transportation funding shortfall, which is a major concession.”
