: TalkLeftVA Governor Candidate Proposes Increased Drug Sentences
By Jeralyn
Virginia must have a secret stash of money somewhere. The Republican candidate for Governor, Bob McDonnell, along with the Republican candidate for Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, are proposing new mandatory minimums for second time drug offenders and lifetime GPS monitoring for violent sex offenders.
Their goal: to make Virginia “one of the most hostile environments in America” for drug dealers.
They also want to speed up the process of terminating parental rights for abusive parents.
McConnell is the current Attorney General in Virginia and a former prosecutor. The Washington Post has more on his plan, including the Democrats' opposition because it doesn't have enough funding for police.
