Participation isn't just important — it's mandatory.

The census is about to begin. Make sure you are counted. The information gathered through the census is used in so many important facets of our daily lives. One item it affects is the number of seats our state occupies in the U.S. House of Representatives. In fact, the information the census collects helps to determine how more than $400 billion dollars of federal funding each year is spent on infrastructure and services.

Potomac Appalachian Transmission Highline (PATH)

EXCERPT FROM THE REPORT OF ALEXANDER F. SKIRPAN, JR., SENIOR HEARING EXAMINER
January 6, 2010
"The Virginia segments of the proposed transmission project consist of two non-contiguous segments totaling approximately 31 miles and crossing portions of Frederick, Clarke, and Loudoun Counties. In recent pleadings, PATH indicated that additional load flow analyses show that the project would not be needed to resolve NERC reliability violations in 2014, as indicated in the pending application. PATH now asks the Commission to grant PATH's request to withdraw its application. Because PATH no longer supports its own application, and as further discussed below, I find that PATH should be permitted to withdraw its application."
The Board will continue to monitor any activity regarding this proposed project and be quick to oppose it in its current form. Click on the link to the right hand side of the page to read a chronology of the actions we have taken to date.

Teen Pregnancy
Alarming statistics have recently come to light about the increase in unwed teen pregnancy. A recent article on MSNBC offers some insight.
Unwed birth rate reaches all-time high in U.S. More babies were born in the United States in 2007 than any year in the nation\'s history, topping the peak during the baby boom 50 years earlier, federal researchers reported. Here is the link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29754561/from/ET/
