The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections killed a resolution calling for a two-term governorships, or in the vernacular of the Assembly, it was passed by indefinitely. The vote:
YEAS–Martin, Lambert, Hawkins, Stolle, O’Brien, Reynolds, Devolites Davis, Obenshain, Puckett–9.
NAYS–Bolling, Howell, Deeds, Whipple, Bell–5.
ABSTENTIONS–0.
The quote:
“The fact is we’re the people’s representatives, not the governor,” Stolle said.Sen. Kenneth W. Stolle, R-Virginia Beach
Huh? Didn’t the governor win an election where all the eligible voters could cast a ballot? But he’s not the people’s representative; these little tribal chieftains are?
