Today’s Washington Post included an editorial titled “In Virginia, the Race Is On“, describing the need for serious debate between Gubernatorial candidates Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Jerry Kilgore on fiscal and transportation issues.
Of the Republican ticket, the Post writes, “They promise new services without new revenue, offering, in explanation, fantasy coupled with wishful thinking.” Of Kilgore’s plan to require voter approval of any tax increases, they call it “a spineless approach to state governance and a sure-fire recipe for demagoguery.”
