Although I'm ending my Virginia blogging career at the end of this month and therefore am no longer consulting to Jon Bowerbank. I strongly support Jon for LG, wish him the best of luck, and congratulate him on the following endorsements. I strongly echo the comments by my friend Pete Frisbie ("he knows how to balance the books in tough financial times and create jobs in the Commonwealth") and am very happy to see him on board the Bowerbank bandwagon! :)
