Richmond – Delegate David Englin (D-45) yesterday announced his legislative package for the 2010 General Assembly session. Englin is working on bills addressing key areas like progressive budget and tax reform, securing the safety net for struggling families, defending equal rights, expanding health care coverage for the disabled, and protecting neighborhoods from HOT Lanes.
“This is an ambitious slate of legislation with a combination of bold ideas and small steps forward,” said Englin, whose district includes parts of the City of Alexandria, Fairfax County, and Arlington County. “With the Commonwealth facing a $4 billion revenue shortfall, now more than ever we need to make structural changes to ensure the most effective and efficient use of safety net dollars to help people struggling to make ends meet. I’m also working to address key local concerns, like solving our transportation problem while protecting our neighborhoods from HOT Lanes, strengthening public schools by supporting high quality teachers, and reforming our regressive tax structure to help families and small businesses while still protecting money for education and transportation. This is going to be an incredibly challenging year, but I’m confident there will still be opportunities for progress.”
