I noticed this week in the news that VA Gov. McDonnell got a budget out of the legislature, but did NOT get them to award him a seat on the Metro Board. I always thought that the State of Va. Already had more than one seat on the board, and that Md. nd D.C. Each had several too. I find it difficult to believe that VA has never been given a seat on the board. That would be kind of like paying a tax without representation. THAT would be unAmerkican!
Please clarify for me what is wrong with that Metro Board, and why the governor has decided to ask his state legislature for a seat instead of asking the Board for a seat.
