Virginia needs more conversations like the one sponsored by the Prince William Council of 100 yesterday. The Council invited four speakers representing distinct perspectives to participate in a roundtable discussion about transportation.
The speakers included Virginia Secretary of Transportation Pierce Homer; Speaker of the House William Howell, R-Stafford; Coalition for Smarter Growth Director Stewart Schwartz; and development attorney Patrick McSweeney. What a great line-up!
The speakers didn’t reach a consensus, the Gaineville Times observes, but at least they “exhibited none of the anger that has been characteristic of the transportation debate in Richmond.” Hey, it’s a start.
