	State Fire Chief's Association of Virginia
		Evidence collected indicates that as of the fall of 1999, 97% of Virginia's population (but only 89% of the land area) is served by at least basic 911, and 95% of Virginia's population (but only 77% of the land area) is served by wireline enhanced 911 (E-911).
		Virginia's enabling legislation, then, contributes greatly to the variability of Virginia's wireline E-911 tax rate, accounting measures, and spending practices, the fact that wireline 911 service delivery varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and the current lack of inter-jurisdictional and inter-agency communication and cooperation, among other things.
		Further, the Virginia General Assembly may wish to consider requiring the Commonwealth to undertake efforts to notify the public of the proper use of #77, and ensure that the wireless location technology advantages soon to be associated with wireless E-911 are available for #77.

	The Virginia Organizing Project : General Assembly Wrap-Up
		In what was more or less a holding action, the 2003 session of the Virginia General Assembly refused to deal with many of the most pressing issues facing the Commonwealth.
		Instead, members of the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates spent the 2003 session focusing on the state’s budget crunch with a patch job that most senior legislators admit they’ll have to repeat next year because of a failure to deal with the underlying cause of the budget crisis.
		Legislators, finishing their second consecutive session dedicated to filling holes in Virginia’s budget, have come around to the proposition that Virginia must reform its unfair, inefficient and obsolete tax system in order to address its many fiscal problems.

	Virginia General Assembly
		As our statewide elections have shown, Virginia is really not a state with a 60/40 Republican tilt (the margin in both houses of the legislature last year) and we're beginning to see some movement back toward a more realistic composition of the legislature- one that reflects the political realities on the ground in the state.
		The Virginia Supreme Court, whose members are appointed by the General Assembly, seems to always be happy to tell the Federal courts exactly what the Federal courts "really" meant in their rulings.
		I tend to believe that, overall, the ethical standards of Virginia political figures is relatively high and do not see much of an impetus from the public to impose new regulations.

		During the 1978 Session of the Virginia General Assembly, House Joint Resolution No. 155 was passed and directed a joint subcommittee of the House and Senate Committees on General laws to undertake a comprehensive study of the bingo laws of the Commonwealth.

		As a result of the joint subcommittee studies, Senate Document 63 (1994) and Senate Document 57 (1995), the Virginia Charitable Gaming Commission (the “Commission”) was created with passage of Senate Bill 1020 during the 1995 Session of the Virginia General Assembly.
