April 2010

Last week my colleagues and I returned to Richmond for the one day Reconvened Session. This day gave us an opportunity to act on the Governor's recommendations to the bills passed during the legislative session. We also voted on the Governor's amendments to the 2011-2012 biennial budget. 

The following are articles from newspapers, blogs, and other news sources throughout the Commonwealth and the country featuring members of the Virginia Senate Republican Caucus.

    The pace in Richmond during session is hectic, however at least the committee meetings are closer together there.   Meetings within the district after session are just as challenging because the 15th Senate district is the largest in the state (four times the size of the state of Rhode Island).  By the end of this month, I will have spoken to groups from most of the counties and if you would like me to speak to your group or organization please contact us at 434 374 5129 or sen.ruff@verizon.net
