Talk:Jeannemarie Devolites Davis

Affiliations

The Affiliations sections said she "participates" in these organizations. If she is a member, let's give her credit for membership. But if "participation" means she goes to some or all the meetings, it seems unworthy of a long list.Acham 18:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

X pieces of legislation

I am not sure that a mere legislation count is an appropriate piece of information. Is there a significant piece of legislation we can include instead? Or a link to the legislation she introduced? Thanks. Acham 17:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Not 48

According to VA LIS, it's 33 bills, 3 constitutional resolutions and 12 commendations. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Acham (talk • contribs) 17:32, 5 January 2007 (UTC).

More LIS links

Article now has links to LIS entries for all sponsored bills as chief patron or co-patron back to 2002. LIS probably lets us add them back to her first session in 1998. AndersW 23:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Legislative history

Will try to summarize her legislative history along these lines to the extent I can find citeable sources. Without crawling through all the bills, one can start to characterize it this way.

• Good relations w/public employees (teachers, nurses, firemen, police)
• Pro-life - catholic and unpopular w/NARAL
• Overtures to gays (non-discrimination bill)
• Anti-spam bills
• Regulation of public records (web access to eg land records, concealing pvt data eg SSN)
• anti-terror, harder to get driver's license (several 9/11 hijackers usedd real VA licenses for ID)
• soccer Mom issues
  • Gun regulation & other - OK w/handgun control but unpopular w/NRA and similar groups
    • ban in eg recreation centers
    • close gun show loophole
  • banning teen cellphone use in cars (& spat w/Gerry Connelly)
• transportation - a big challenge and political hot potato in No Va
• taxation - not so popular w/hard line anti-tax people
  • referendum (2003?) to raise local taxes for transportation projects
  • 2007 proposals
  • 2007 compromise

2007 race

Would a section on the upcoming 2007 election be appropriate? Her likely opponent, Chap Petersen, is a former city councilman, former state delegate, and unsuccessful primary candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2005. Sparring has already begun with charges (from him) that Jeannemarie and her husband represent too great a concentration of political power in the area, and (against him) that he's been weak on gun control.

ICG controversy

A section of this article discusses a controversy that arose from an article in the Washington Post in the summer of 2006. It's nearly a clone of the one in her husband's article. Since the husband is the bigger player in the controversy, and this this section could just as well be greatly abbreviated with a reference to the corresponding section in the article on Thomas M Davis III (VA-R-11). Reactions, anyone? AndersW 23:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Her controversy, too

The ICG story belongs on both their pages since it involves them both equally. Her income and their household income is tied to ICG income since she is a partner; the clients are hers, and they seek ICG's representation at a favorable meeting or hearing or a cancellation of a hearing before Mr. Davis's Government Reform Committee. As Chair from 1998-2006, Rep Davis was the only Reform Commmitte member who could issue an invitation or subpeona or cancel the appearance. Finally, the contactors bound for a hot seat before his committee often donate more to her than to him (since she has no Federal campaign limits); and Rep. Davis is her biggest donor as well. This all supports a finding that the story belongs to both of them.

Now the long lists of legislation and Boards seems excessive and single link to each would be more appropriate, but not excessive enough to quibble over.

Acham 16:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Personal

I think the issue with her daughter belongs on the article since it is true and her daughter committed some very serious crimes. It was also in the Washington Post.

Photograph

The headshot is taken from the Virginia General Assembly's LIS website. Since it had the same filename, it appears that a previously deleted photo came from the same place. Virginia has rather a strong FOIA statute, under which the public has a right to most information in the hands of public officials. Virginia's FOIA doesn't make it exactly public domain, but seems close enough to allow its reuse in Wikipedia.

Deletions without justifcation

199.111.179.86, I see you've been warned on other pages. Do not delete current information without justification. Acham 05:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
