What is the biggest political issue facing the state of Virginia?

The most heated debated issue is Virginia now is the Transportation problem. Everytime you hear about a problem or crash with the metro or metro buses or anything, you know that means one thing... huge, huge backups. But that is just one of the more obvious problems. Although a lot of Virginia tax dollars go to the transportation, it is often being used to help all around the state, a lot of which is not nearly used as much as it is in the northern virginia region surrounding DC that would potentially support commuters. They often try to extent Metro railways also, but insufficient funding deters that from happening. Roads up here are frequently used and deteriorate much faster than down in the southern part of our state also. When it takes hours for commuters to get to their job, you know there is room for improvement.

  1. I agree with you and feel that transportation is the most important political issue in Virginia. One thing that I would add is that the state of Virginia gets most of its tax money from Northern Va so it would be more fair for the government to use the money on roads in the D.C metro area.
