To the Editor:
Partisan politics at the risk of shutting down Virginia’s government is not the answer for the citizens of our great Commonwealth. We elect our leaders to represent us in hopes that they are focused on doing what is in the best interest of the constituents they serve. Senate Democrats voted along strict party lines to block the biannual budget; putting education, public safety, transportation, and services for the elderly at risk. Why? Because they feel as though Committee Assignments are unfair. These are the people elected to represent us in Richmond and they are letting us down by ignoring our teachers, our policemen, and our government workers. It’s unfortunate that Senate Democrats are more concerned with their own image politically than the people they represent.
