Former DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe has filed the forms to run for Virginia governor in 2009. McAuliffe hopes to replace Governor Tim Kane who can only serve one term as Virginia governor.
McAuliffe, originially from New York State, is a graduate of Catholic University and has been involved in Democratic politics since the Jimmy Carter years. He received his law degree from Georgetown University.
Can we, the taxpayers of Prince William County, do away with the Chairman-at-Large position? In these tough economic times it should be a consideration. By conservative estimations, it could save taxpayers around a half million dollars. The position has not always existed and doesn’t appear to have any mandate to continue. Whether or not it can be done away with prior to the 2011 redistricting appears to be a question that deserves an answer. It seems to exist mainly as a position of prestige and apparently as a stepping stone to higher office. But, since the chairman-at-large position doesn’t actually represent any actual Prince William County resident, it should be slated for possible removal in the budgetary process. Any thoughts?
FYI, in case anyone’s interested.
