State Sen. Barbara Favola and Dels. Charniele Herring and Dave Albo shared their thoughts on Obamacare and children and family legal issues Friday during an Alexandria forum hosted by SCAN, an organization working to prevent child abuse in Northern Virginia. The forum took place as part of a special Child Advocacy Training with Prevent Child Abuse Virginia at Church of St. Clement on Quaker Lane. Favola, D-31st, and Albo, R-42nd, took the opportunity to weigh in on Obamacare and its effects on Virginia. “There are still some people hoping beyond hope that it’s going to go away,” Favola said. “But it is the law of the land now. It survived a Supreme Court decision and it survived an election. “And I can tell you that interest groups you …

In House floor monologue, Del. Albo says Del. Englin's appearance on Rachel Maddow show killed the mood between Albo and his wife Tuesday night
Del. Dave Albo (R-Springfield) asked Del. David Englin (D-Alexandria) for an apology on the House floor Friday, blaming Englin's appearance on the Rachel Maddow Show on Tuesday for spoiling intimacy with Albo's wife that night.

Proposals by area legislators include hike in gas tax, campaign sign clutter, giving localities right to ban smoking in parks.
Northern Virginia lawmakers will make their case for hiking gas taxes, banning smoking in parks, cutting the clutter of campaign signs and dozens of other proposals beginning at 12 Noon Wednesday, the official start of the 2012 legislative session of the General Assembly in Richmond. The three proposals are just a sampling of what lawmakers will consider during the 60-day session in the state capital. Lawmakers' first order of business may be to determine who is in charge in the Senate. Evenly divided by party, it's uncertain whether Republican Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling can step in and serve as a tie-breaker on some votes. At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Gov. Bob McDonnell will deliver his State of the Commonwealth address. A budget shortfall …

There is certainly room for levity in political discourse, but this type of self aggrandizing buffoonery deserves a concise apology to the electorate. Moreover, I suspect that the corpulent Mr. Albo is being mendacious in recounting the events of the evening as claimed. I don't understand how someone with a carriage such as his is capable of tumescence and successfully making a union with his … more ›
