According to the House Bill 863 includes proposals to effectively eliminate minimum sentencing for manslaughter, rape, possession and distribution of child pornography, assaulting a law enforcement officer and other repeat violent felonies.
As a victim, of a brutal rape crime, this has me scared for not just for myself ,but the community.
If someone is sentenced life without parole, there should be no release!! It doesn’t matter if they are up for geriatric release. The crime they committed and the time that was served should still stand. Someone becoming of the age of 60ish does not mean they’re not a threat to the community specially among the children. If you release a rapist that was sentenced with life without parole just because he is considered geriatric you are now operating a huge threat to our community and our children.
I’m a lifelong Va resident, the immediate extremist actions of Mrs Spanberger are alarming enough that my family is weighing moving out of Va. Uprooting your life and your kids is not an easy decision, but the numerous new taxes and unnecessary and unacceptable proposals for public school curriculums will absolutely push families away from our beautiful state.
I have lived in Virginia all my 60 years. I had to retire early because of an injury so it’s tough trying to make ends meet sometimes. I don’t understand why they want to make it so hard for people to live?? It’s tough seeing how Virginia is divided and how the hard working Virginians have to suffer because of people like her being elected. I don’t know if people are not voting ,other than for the Presidential vote but this election should wake people up and from now on We Need To Vote at Every Election in our State!!! I hope the ones that voted for her are balling their eyes out when those crazy taxes and everything else starts. She needs to be fired!! We need someone who cares about our state and what happens to the people!! And for me it’s not a Democratic/Republican thing it’s a humanitarian thing. It’s caring about All the people. What’s right for everyone not one side or the other!! Why can’t they work together for the good of everyone. We don’t need higher taxes, we pay enough now for taxes on taxes and more. I’m sick of Northern Va making up the majority votes here.
I grew up riding horses and can’t imagine these incredible creatures losing their lives because of a man filled with so much greed and hate. Wild horses are a symbol of freedom. He is trying to strip every aspect of freedom from this nation. Protect our wildlife, get him out of office!!!!
The dividend is used for winter preparation for Alaskans. Taking from the money we have made through tourism and living should not be handled by greedy people that won’t even put the funds towards anything else besides their pockets. Schools need funding police departments need funding construction companies that work for the state need to be able to fix the roads and bridges ect that we use daily it is absolutely devastating to see the decline in our economy when the elites live their best lives. There are children that depend on those funds for school clothes and fees there are parents that are depending on that to help them make ends meet because school just started everyone had to spend 1000$ -5,000 on school supplies. Some families have 10 kids some have 1 the issue is that it needs to go back to where it’s supposed to go or something else needs to happen with whose in charge
Alaskans are fed up with being treated like an afterthought while our elected officials reward themselves with raises and mismanage the budget. The Permanent Fund Dividend was created to ensure that every Alaskan shares in the wealth of our natural resources—not to be siphoned off to cover political shortfalls. Meanwhile, schools are closing, community centers are shuttered, and families are struggling to afford heating fuel just to survive the winter. If budgeting a government is hard, try budgeting a household with no safety net. We demand accountability, transparency, and the restoration of the full PFD. It’s time our leaders remembered who they serve.
My father, Karl Hein, died bringing oil to Alaska. He also served during WW2 in Alaska.
He would be very angry today to see how Alaskans are having the oil revenues being stolen by a greedy government.
The PFD was set up for the people of Alaska. It is not for funding pet projects of politicians.
Give the money back.
I used to work for the Army at an R& D center in NJ, from 1989-1999 during at least 2 Government shutdowns…it is such a waste of time and money as they usually pay back employees retroactively during the shutdown. The only Government employees that should NOT get paid are those that make the laws and control the budget…Members of Congress do your jobs!
