Make ABC Stores Sale Part of Comprehensive Funding Package

The Alliance has recommended the sale of Virginia’s ABC stores be considered as part of a larger, comprehensive transportation funding program as opposed to a stand alone proposal.

In a statement prepared for Governor McDonnell’s August 25th Northern Virginia Town Hall Meeting, the Alliance said the potential of such a sale to provide urgently needed maintenance or construction dollars on a one-time basis is too great to ignore. At the same time, the need for significant new, sustained and dedicated revenue is also urgent and undeniable.

The Alliance said that combining short and long-term funding mechanisms, “not only comes closer to meeting the Commonwealth’s transportation needs, but also is likely to command even greater bipartisan and bicameral support” by reinforcing the Administration’s commitment to long-term, sustained transportation funding.
