As reported today by Raising Kaine via the Washington Post, Senator John Chichester will be conspicuously missing from the conference committee on transportation. The Senators who will be on the committee are Thomas K. Norment Jr. (R-James City), Phillip P. Puckett (D-Russell), Kenneth W. Stolle (R-Virginia Beach), Frank W. Wagner (R-Virginia Beach) and Martin E. Williams (R-Newport News). This is great news for those who are tired of the reign of Chichester. As the most powerful member of the Senate, Chichester should have had is pick on this committee. However, the grassroots movement to see him removed from power is having its first success. No Chichester or any of the other Three Blind Mice on the transportation conference committee means the possibility for conservative’s success on transportation.
This is one win for Chichester Must Go and a huge step for Virginians.
