efforts force good issue job list top
Probably the issue at top of their list was better work-force development. (Danville officials) feel like the state's efforts are kind of fragmented, and we need to do a better job of coordinating them. And I think that's a real good point.

change comfort continuity cycle democrats good governor hurts level manager national people pick political somebody
I want someone with a national reputation. I want somebody who is a good manager of people and who is a change agent. I think the one-term governor hurts transportation more than anything else because if you change out secretaries of transportation and VDOT commissioners on a four-year cycle you just don't get the continuity you need on the transportation side. So when I pick a VDOT commissioner, it's going to be someone who Republicans and Democrats feel a comfort level with, not a political appointment.

You see Democrats who will demonize business. I don't do that. You see Republicans who demonize labor. I don't do that.
