Del. Kaye Kory (D-38th), AT&T, and representatives from Drive Smart Virginia participated in a distracted driving event at J.E.B. Stuart High School Tuesday morning in Falls Church aimed at exploring the dangers of texting while driving, particularly among young drivers. The event was part of AT&T’s nationwide “It Can Wait” initiative to curb texting while driving. Watch Kory discuss distracted driving in Virginia, in the video above. Students and faculty had the opportunity to "drive" a stationary car and text using their phones in a simulator attached to sensors that placed them in a virtual reality.

Representatives from Dominion Virginia Power and Verizon will attend.
Dominion Virginia Power and Verizon representatives will discuss an overview of their response to the June 29 derecho storm at Del. Kaye Kory’s (D-38th) Town Hall meeting on Thursday in Falls Church. On June 30, Fairfax County’s 911 call center went down, leaving millions of Fairfax County residents without a way to phone in storm-related emergencies. Residents were told to visit their nearest police or fire station to report all emergencies, a task made difficult for some who were blocked in their neighborhoods or homes by fallen trees and debris. It took Verizon close to three hours to notify the county that 911 was down, according to the Washington Post. The outage was blamed on a Verizon "trunk line" in Arlington. The communication …

Recent headlines demonstrate the increasingly breathtaking arrogance of power displayed by our elected and appointed public leaders in Virginia. More and more those entrusted with safeguarding the well-being of the hard-working citizens of this Commonwealth seem to confuse their personal agendas with those of the people whom they serve. The UVA Board of Visitors' shocking and sudden firing of UVA's President, Theresa Sullivan, is a great example. After a much-publicized talent search by the Board of Visitors (BOV) culminated in hiring Theresa Sullivan to lead the University of Virgina less than two years ago, this same group of Governor McDonnell's appointees has summarily dismissed her with neither a public warning nor a public …

Please let's have a little truth in labelling here. This is nothing more than a Democratic positioning of the General Assembly session and a blame game. Saslaw was such a baby that he helped kill the transportation bill - and offered no alternative. For the most powerful D in Richmond, as he calls himself, he's not solving our transportation woes. He's adding to them. And for Kaye Kory to call … more ›
