Well, it took almost four years, but we
finally have one case of a House of Delegates Republican cooperating with Governor Kaine on something!
In a bipartisan letter to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine (D) and House of Delegates Speaker William Howell (R) jointly urged the county to reconsider plans to locate a Walmart supercenter on the Wilderness Battlefield.
The letter, addressed to Orange County Board Chairman Lee Frame and dated July 13, 2009, emphasizes the Commonwealth’s commitment to historic preservation and the need to bring all interests together to resolve the controversy.
Is it ironic that it took the Civil War to bring Bill Howell and Tim Kaine together on something?
