President Obama is joined by former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to announce the formation of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund to help the Haitian people after the devastating January 12th earthquake.

When President Teddy Roosevelt traveled to Jamestown in 1907 to celebrate the 300^th anniversary of the founding of our colony he did not face today’s transportation congestion, but he got it right when he told the crowd of thousands that the most important quality of any public official is “foresight.” Now a century later, for those who question why we should support the efforts of Congressman Gerry Connolly and Delegate Paul Nichols in their quest to bring Metro to Prince William, I would suggest that we heed the excellent advice of that great American president.

Congressman Gerry Connolly, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, and Congressman Jim Moran have introduced legislation to protect local streams, major rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay by eliminating nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment pollution associated with impervious surface areas like parking lots.

“The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure,” said Congressman Connolly.  “This legislation will restore America’s largest estuary by finally reducing the serious problem of pollution from impervious surface areas.”

Omnibus Appropriations Bill Includes Money for Rail, Cops, Roads, GMU, Schools, Health, Environment

WASHINGTON -- Congressman Gerry Connolly said the Omnibus Appropriations bill passed by the House of Representatives Wednesday contains $33.7 million in funding for a wide range of projects and activities benefiting schools, transportation, police departments, George Mason University, and the public across the 11^th Congressional District in Fairfax and Prince William Counties.   In addition, the legislation contains $10.75 million for environmental protection and preservation of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem.

Editorial boards across the Commonwealth have weighed in on the General Assembly's do-nothing special session, and the verdict is clear: House Republicans once again were more interested in playing political games than finding a solution to Virginia's transportation crisis.
