HISTORIC TRIANGLE COLLABORATIVE

                             Memorandum To:  YORK COUNTY CITIZENS

Subject: HISTORIC TRIANGLE  COLLABORATIVE

From:   York County Citizens Forum (YCCF)

 
United Nations Agenda 21 (UN A21) is alive and well in our area. Local  Regional Planning Meetings are being held as we speak. If passed, these  plans will solidify A21’s hold on the Historic Triangle and the liberties we enjoy as Americans will soon disappear.  (See below for more info about  Agenda 21 and the planning meetings)

In response to this assault, Concerned Citizens of  the Historic Triangle will hold its first meeting Thursday, March 15  7-8:45 p.m. Tabb Library Meeting  Room,100 Long Green  Blvd.  The purpose of this meeting  is to become informed about these regional plans and learn what we can do  to defend our Constitutional liberties.

Mary Leedom, candidate for York County Republican Committee Chairperson, and Sue Sadler of James City County have been on the front lines of this battle locally and will be our presenters.

Do spread the word and come. We need many to voice their concerns or this “regional plan” will quickly become a set of costly, intrusive, oppressive regulations to which we, our children and grandchildren will have to submit.

INFORMATION ABOUT AGENDA  21

Excerpt from  "Agenda 21- The UN  Blueprint for the 21st Century," (http://windfarms.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/agenda-21---the-un-blueprint-for-the-21st-century/1st-century/):  

Like most “green movement initiatives,” Agenda 21  is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.”   It is not an environmental management policy, but an attempt to  impose a global centrally-planned quasi-government administered by the United Nations.  Under Agenda  21, all central government and local authority signatories are required to conform strictly to a common prescribed standard and hence this is just communism resurrected in a new guise.

READ THE PLAN HERE:  http://www.historictrianglecollaborative.com/files/HTCVisionProjectFINAL.pdf

Also attached, please find the Call to the Biennial York County Republican Party Mass Meeting to be held March 29, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. at Grafton Middle School.

Delegate Mike Watson Newsletter

 

 

 


 

Delegate Watson at a press conference with the Sheriffs Association

Letter from Mike:

 

 

 

Friends,

 

In the last few newsletters we have been counting down weeks to the end of session.  After tomorrow, we will start counting up…the number of days after the end of ‘regular session’ in which we do not have a budget.  In the House, having passed a budget bill twice now, we are making every effort to move forward and have our conferees already working to resolve difference between our budget and the Senate items that we suspect will be in their budget.  However, as I write this letter a final budget agreement does not appear to be eminent.  Some of our readers might recall me talking about calling my wife from the Capitol Steps in Washington a couple years ago.  I told her “this place is broken and can only be fixed by the states”.  I would not have guessed that I would be facing similar partisan gridlock when I came to Richmond.  That said, I do have faith that our colleagues on the other side of the aisle will come around and do what is right for the citizens of the Commonwealth.  Certainly they recognize the burden that will be placed upon public safety, transportation, schools, localities and other state agencies by delaying our budget.  

 

As we transition out of Richmond and back to our districts, our team will be setting up our two district offices.  We will be finalizing plans for several Town Hall meetings and organizing a number of events.  We will address some plans in this newsletter with more information coming out as we finalize dates, locations, etc. in the coming weeks.  I encourage you to visit our website at www.DelegateWatson.com as we will routinely update information there.  If you are on Facebook, you may want to visit the DelegateWatson page as well. 

 

This has been an exciting eight weeks.  I have gotten several worthy bills through the system, still working to keep my budget amendments intact and have learned much about our legislative system.  Officially, our last day of session will be on Saturday and I am looking forward to getting back to our district as there is much to do once there.   I have my share of homework in the nine months before 2013 and I am eager to report progress to you along the way.  One of these projects will break new ground.  As a teaser, I will simply ask you to keep your eye out for press releases in a couple weeks.

 

Barring unforeseen events here in Richmond, our next newsletter will be sent from the 93rd district.  I look forward to seeing you in our district offices, at events and around town.   Please contact my office if we can be of assistance and know that I am grateful for this opportunity to serve. 

 

Signing off from Richmond.

 

-Mike

District Offices

 

For the convenience of all constituents, we will have two 93rd district offices.  In Williamsburg, we will staff an office at 1201 Jamestown Road (the white building at the corner of Jamestown Road and Route 199).  This location is just down the street from the campus of William and Mary and is an extremely convenient location for folks in James City County and Williamsburg.  For our friends in Newport News and York County, we have an office in the Cybernetics Building on Victory Boulevard.  Both offices should be up and running within a couple weeks and once we are set up, we will post our contact information and office hours on the web.

 

 

I-64 – Post Session Project

 

It is a rare instance to be at a meeting in the district when transportation, or more specifically, I-64 does not become a major topic.  Throughout his campaign, Mike talked about the need to get this project on the state’s priority list and to develop a reliable funding strategy.  Having a session under his belt and a better understanding of our statewide transportation crisis, it has become clear that the strategy of submitting this project in whole, hoping it will eventually be funded, simply will not work.   To use Mike’s words, “It will be long after I am gone before the state strokes a check to fund additional lanes between Newport News and Richmond in one fell swoop”.  In his opinion, we will only make progress by segmenting this project and getting creative to address our bottlenecks a section at a time.  Mike has already started efforts to advance this idea and will continue to work on it throughout the summer and next year.  If we can break this into more affordable segments, we have a much better chance of getting portions funded as part of a statewide transportation initiative.   We will also have a better chance of securing funding once we set specific priorities, and we can use this as a negotiation tool when dealing with other regions on their transportation priorities.  This will not happen overnight, but we will keep you posted on his progress.

 

 

Flounder and Jobs

 

This session you have likely heard about Mike’s bill to ensure that Tourism Projects receive their full earned revenue share.  You also heard about his Habitat for Humanity bill, efforts to reform BPOL and the Machine & Tools tax and even his Energy bill.   But you may not have heard about HJR 96, his Summer Flounder resolution, or “Flounder Jobs Bill” as he jokingly refers to it.  The Commercial Fishing Industry is managed by a 14” flounder size limit while recreational fishermen are restricted to 17.5” and larger, and the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) currently estimates 94% of all VA flounder caught by recreational anglers must be thrown back and that they suffer a 10 – 20% mortality rate after being returned.  As a result, over 2 million flounder die every year while anglers keep fishing until they catch the larger, more productive fish.   Furthermore, this self-defeating restriction has stifled a once thriving Flounder Charter Boat industry.   Mike’s HJR 96, which has the backing of VMRC management and received unanimous votes in both the House and the Senate, instructs the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to modify its formula for setting Summer Flounder size limits, taking these and other facts into consideration, to bring the recreational size limits more in line with the commercial fishery.  Implementation of this resolution will promote a Charter Boat industry rebound, increase saltwater fishing license purchases, increase business at tackle shops and marinas and allow recreational anglers to actually keep some of their Summer Flounder catch.  Surprisingly, it is a jobs bill after all.

News from York County

 

This Sunday, "Change Your Clock, Change Your Batteries"
 
March 8, 2012
 
FOR RELEASE AT WILL
 

It is that time of year again, when we "spring" forward from Standard Time to Daylight Savings Time and adjust our clocks forwardone hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 11.

In today's fast-paced world, we often forget to stop and do the small things in life that matter most. The York County Department of Fire and Life Safety would like to remind you that when you change your clocks, you should also change the batteries in your smoke alarms, especially if you have not changed them since September of last year.

York County Fire Chief Stephen Kopczynski states "The 'Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery' program urges everyone to adopt the habit of changing smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm batteries when changing clocks, which could make the difference in surviving a fire or succumbing to carbon monoxide poisoning in your home.

"A fire doubles in size every 30 seconds. The sound of the alarm may give you and your family those few extra seconds to get out and stay out of your home. Smoke is usually what kills fire victims, not the fire, because the smoke puts you in a deeper sleep and without the sound of the smoke alarm, you succumb to the smoke as you breathe it in."

Chief Kopczynski also recommends purchasing a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm if you use natural gas, oil or propane in your home, have a fireplace, or have an attached garage. Install carbon monoxide alarms in the hallway near every separate sleeping area of the home. Because CO is about the same weight as air, it evenly distributes itself, so alarms can be placed on the ceiling or wall or even plugged into an outlet. These alarms are lifesavers because carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that can kill you before you are even aware it is in your house. It causes side effects such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, disorientation and fatigue that are often mistaken for the flu. These effects can vary greatly from person to person depending on age, overall health and length of exposure.

To save lives and to prevent needless injuries, start a life-saving habit this year: when you "Change Your Clock, Change Your Batteries."  Checking your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and changing the batteries is one of the simplest things you can do to protect your family.

Additional information can be found on the Department of Fire and Life Safety website at www.yorkcounty.gov/fire or call the office Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. until 5 p.m. at (757) 890-3600.

The county operates two trolleys, both purchased mainly with state and federal grant money, and can transport up to 28 seated and 19 standing passengers at a time.

The trolley route begins at the Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center and makes stops at the Victory Monument, Historic Main Street, Riverwalk Landing and the Watermen's Museum, among others, on its way to the Yorktown Victory Center on the other side of town.

The trolley operates in partnership with the Historic Triangle Shuttle, which connects Yorktown with Jamestown and Williamsburg via the Colonial Parkway. For more information about the Yorktown Trolley, visit www.visityorktown.org.
