BUDGET
- TAXES - SPENDING
1. Virginia
froze the car tax rebate at 70% of the first $20,000
of car value. Do you agree that we should complete
the car tax phase-out when surpluses are available
to do so?
2.
The General Assembly must produce a balanced
budget. Some
are calling for increased taxes to do so while others
want to focus on constraining spending.
Which best reflects your preference?
3.
Transportation and education are important
areas of need. What should take priority when developing
future budgets?
EDUCATION

Virginia
has Standards of Learning (SOL's) were implemented
to ensure accountability in educating our kids.

Where educational problems are concerned, who
do you think is responsible?
(Prioritize 1-5 with 1 being your first choice).
7.
In the past 8 years
Virginia has increased education
funding by $4 billion, with almost $500 million coming
in the current budge cycle.
What is your view?
8.
Many people put their kids in non-public schools
because they want a better learning environment for
their kids. Should
Virginia
give tax credits or vouchers to parents
who want to place their children in private or home
school settings?
TRANSPORTATION
9.
Do you support toll roads as a way to pay for
transportation improvements; including high speed
lanes open to all who would pay a toll to use them?

The Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) has been
used in recent years for General Fund spending.
Do you support a law that requires the TTF
to be used for transportation spending only?
11.
Historically Northern
Virginia has not received its
fair share of the dollars it sends to
Richmond ?
How should we address this?
Northern Virginia

Washington
D.C.
12.
Thinking further about transportation, as you
sit in traffic everyday, do you think should be done?
(Prioritize 1-6 with 1 being your first choice)
13.
The attack on the Pentagon showed us that we
need better roads and transportation systems to facilitate
an evacuation of Washington
, D.C.
Do you believe the federal government is doing
it's part to support Virginia
's transportation budget given our geographic
proximity to the District?
Virginia
's problem to solve at the state level.
PUBLIC
SAFETY
14.
The
U.S. Constitution
guarantees in the Second Amendment the right of law
abiding citizens to own a gun.
Virginia has in recent years
strengthened the rights of gun owners. Do you support
or oppose the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment?
15.
Lawful gun owners with no history of wrongdoing
and who possess a concealed carry permit should be able
to carry their firearms in any restaurant so long as
they don't consume alcohol?
What do you think?
16.
Do you support red light cameras as a
way to deal with red light running in our region?

ISSUES

describe yourself?

Do you agree with the General Assembly's action
to require parental consent for minor girls considering
abortion?

to make partial birth infanticide illegal?
20.
Currently, your minor child (17 or under) may
use public health facilities for conditions like sexual
transmitted diseases, pregnancy, or contemplation of
suicide without any notification provided to you by
those government facilities.
Should parents be informed (except in cases where
there is mental or physical abuse) when their minor
children receive such services?
21.
Should the General Assembly give special status
to people based on their sexual practices?
