Virginia Governor Tim Kaine was not exactly ecstatic, but he was mighty pleased as he described the proposed compromise on transportation funding at the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Tuesday. The luncheon, which was rescheduled from December because of a state trooper funeral, offered perfect timing for Governor Kaine to advocate for passage of the compromise. “This is not a perfect solution,” he said, but it enables the state and localities to move forward on the number one issue that affects Northern Virginia’s residents and businesses.
