  TAP: Vol 12, Iss. 12. Sneak Preview. John B. Judis.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Virginia was once the capital of the Confederacy, and for almost 100 years its mainly whites-only electorate was dominated by very conservative Bourbon Democrats, epitomized by the late Senator Harry Byrd, Jr., and his father.
In the 1970s, Virginia veered sharply Republican in a prelude to the Reagan landslide, and the GOP controlled the governor's office throughout the decade.
Gilmore estimated that the elimination of the car tax, which was to be phased out over five years, would eventually cost the Virginia treasury $600 million a year, but he promised that the state could reimburse the counties from the increased revenues it would receive from rapid economic growth.

 Too Conservative: Curious
Jim Gilmore's legacy is so hated by the GOP that his wife had to go to the 2004 Republican National Convention as an Alternate Delegate, they didn't even give her the courtesy to go as a Delegate like dear Jim.
The problem was not with Gilmore's proposal to eliminate the car tax, the problem was that when the state revenues did not hit the statutory amount necessary to enact a full 70% reduction in the reimbursement to localities for the car tax cut, Jim Gilmore chose deceit and dishonesty over the truth.
Gilmore claims to be a party man, yet he contributed nothing to pay into the roughly $800,000 settlement that RPV reached over the eavesdropping scandal.

It is a simple tax increase on the people of Virginia, but a true reform is in fact called for now that we have experienced a national recession and are beginning to emerge from that recession.
James Gilmore: To answer this question would require a careful evaluation of how tax burden is calculated in all the states that you cite.
Gilmore -- It's abundantly clear to me that taxes in Virginia are very much out of line with basic state needs.

 The Republican gubernatorial hopeful makes a plea for campaign support
Virginia Attorney General James Gilmore last week convened a group of area high-tech business people to advise him on issues ranging from tax policy to the development of an information highway throughout the state.
Gilmore's and Beyer's work underscores two main points about the upcoming gubernatorial race: The winner needs access to the deep pockets of Virginia's high-tech community and a reputation as a tech-savvy politician.
Gilmore said his advisory council will not compete against the Northern Virginia Technology Council or the Virginia Technology Council, which have similar goals of raising the Virginia area's high-tech reputation.

 Gilmore, NAACP Reach Accord, Avert Va. Boycott (Washington Post)
Gilmore (R) and three leaders of the NAACP's 30,000-member state conference were reserved but conciliatory as they emerged from an hour-long meeting at the Capitol, easing for now the tension in a simmering racial disagreement that had captured national political attention.
Gilmore, a rising star in national GOP circles who has reached out to fl Virginians, was evidently relieved at forestalling a major protest that could have hurt the state's $12.4 billion-a-year tourist industry.
Gilmore has issued his version of the April resolution three times, including language that honors the southern cause but condemns the horrors of slavery, a flashpoint of the Civil War, which was largely fought in Virginia.

 Car tax blues: Jim Gilmore vows to axe the car tax on schedule. But he's risking a lot.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Gilmore sought the RNC job, but his selection by President George W. Bush signaled that party elders believe that officeholders such as Gilmore are the party’s future — sharp, youthful, steadfast.
Gilmore’s determination to stick to the original schedule in the face of an economic slowdown has caused a major split in the state GOP and raises questions about his ability to lead Republicans nationally.
But Gilmore, who boasts of having increased state support for higher education by 54 percent since he took office, is willing to withhold critical dollars this year to preserve his campaign promise.

 Washingtonpost.com: Gilmore Calls for Wider I-66 and Rail Extensions
Gilmore's much-anticipated radio address struck new ground by urging the state for the first time to use general tax revenue to finance roads and transit.
In Northern Virginia, business leaders praised Gilmore for finally joining the battle to improve transportation, even as they pointed out that additional funds, such as a regional sales tax, would be required if the area is to raise the $11 billion in new money that the bipartisan Transportation Coordinating Council says is needed by 2020.
Gilmore's proposal to tap the state's general revenue would move Virginia into the company of a small number of states that look to general funds for financing road and transit construction, transportation experts said.

 Environment Health & Safety Professional Information Center: Waste Management Holdings Inc. v. Gilmore
Provision of Virginia solid waste management law that prohibits municipal solid waste shipments on three rivers in state violates supremacy clause of U.S. Constitution, because: (1) states lack authority to prevent federally licensed vessels from using navigable waters, and (2) provision bans all shipments of municipal solid waste on three named rivers.
Here, although Governor Gilmore is under a general duty to enforce the laws of Virginia by virtue of his position as the top official of the state's executive branch, he lacks a specific duty to enforce the challenged statutes.
Likewise, the district court, in retaining Governor Gilmore as a party, recognized that his connection to the disputed statutes extends beyond his general duty to uphold the law.

 The Sacrificial Lamb
Gilmore asked the Virginia Division of Forensic Science to conduct a DNA analysis of fingernail clippings taken from Sarah Wisnosky.
Gilmore said Thursday that he is sure nobody tampered with the evidence that was tested -- Wisnosky's fingernail clippings, which were in a sealed envelope that had not been opened.
Virginia, with a mountain of evidence at hand (most of them mishandled anyway), but “inadmissible” because not presented within 21 days, kills a man who was not a hardened criminal and who consistently cried out his innocence.

 AllPolitics - Car-Tax Issue Lifts Gilmore In Virginia - Oct. 23, 1997
Gilmore's proposal to eliminate the state's personal property tax (on cars and trucks) has resonated in northern Virginia, which the Democrat must win convincingly if he is to win the November 4th election.
But Gilmore is attacking the Democrat on Richmond, Roanoke and Norfolk television stations on issues like crime and welfare reform in an attempt to polarize the race ideologically, and it is apparently working.
Gilmore's early call to cut the state's tax on cars and trucks, and for more money for schools (including more teachers), helped define his candidacy in northern Virginia, and explains both why he is ahead and why Beyer is now trying to change the political debate.
