| Legislative AnalysisVirginia's citizen legislators need good, independent analysis of proposed and suggested legislation, as well as analysis of the reports of legislative study commissions, in order to better represent the voters in their districts and in our Commonwealth. Our legislators are part-time and they have very limited staff. Consequently, they need credible and practical analysis of legislative initiatives from a non-partisan, yet philosophical, perspective. This Thomas Jefferson Institute Center offers this analysis and original research to our state legislators.

February 6 Policy Dinner Discussion Planned on Obamacare Regs —
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is generating numerous new regulations that will have a significant impact on the way Americans access healthcare. That’s why the Thomas Jefferson Institute and the Mercatus Institute have joined to co-sponsor a policy dinner discussion on February 6 with Mercatus Senior Research Fellow Jerry Ellig, co-author of a new Mercatus Center study finding that, in the rush to implement key provisions of the ACA, the federal government produced poorly substantiated claims about the ACA’s benefits and costs. The dinner will be held at the Wildfire Restaurant in Tysons Galleria in McLean.

Virginia Education Improvement Tax Credit Introduced —
Delegates Jimmie Massie (R-Henrico), Algie Howell (D-Norfolk) and Tag Greason (R-Loudoun) have introduced legislation (HB 2314) creating a new tax credit program to improve education for at-risk children. Corporations will be able to contribute to scholarship foundations and receive a 70 percent tax credit. In turn, those scholarship organizations must spend 90 percent or more on scholarships for low-income students to attend the nonpublic school of their choice. The bill is very similar to the successful 10-year-old Florida tax credit law.
