The Virginia STAMP Model —
Three proposals for funding transportation are now under consideration by the General Assembly. Each of the proposals -- one offered by Governor Tim Kaine, one approved by the State Senate and one approved by the House of Delegates -- would have a different impact on state revenue, job creation, and personal income. Designed as one of the many tools legislators should use in making decisions about taxes, the Virginia STAMP (State Tax and Modeling Program) simulates the economic results from tax changes and spending on transportation.

Public Policy and the Internet in Virginia —
Virginia is the Internet Capital of the world, with as many Virginians working in the telecommunications and information technology industries as there are working for the federal government. But the biggest hindrance to the future of the Internet and to the emerging technology industries is the threat of government regulation. Deregulation of the airline, electric, telephone and energy industries have either proven successful or are in the process of completion. This move away from government controls must be carefully considered before new government controls and regulation of the Internet and high tech industries are allowed to take hold. View PDF File.
