Weâre about to enter a Virginia election year and thereâs one thing thatâs certain: Weâll hear Republicans accuse Democrats of being liberals and Democrats accuse Republicans of being conservative.
Of course, sometimes not even those labels suffice as pejoratives. Sometimes weâll hear candidates tack on the adjective âmostâ as in âso-and-so is the most liberal legislatorâ or the âmost conservativeâ â depending, of course, on what part of the state youâre in.
Itâs amazing how much power we give to certain words, as if those words actually mean something. Sometimes they do, of course, but sometimes they donât. Calling someone something does not make them so. Wouldnât it be better if we had some objective measure of just who is liberal and who is conservative and how liberal and conservative they actually are?

NORFOLK On Friday, May 21, Governor Ralph Northam announced that Breeze Airways, a new U.S.- based airline providing low-cost, nonstop service to mid-size markets, will invest $5.2 million to establish an operations center in the City of Norfolk. The company targets underserved and unserved cities without nonstop service and has identified dozens of route opportunities from Norfolk International Airport. Norfolk will be one of Breeze Airways’ first four operations bases in the United States, and the airline also plans to offer flights out of Richmond International Airport. Virginia successfully competed with several other locations for the project, which will create 116 new jobs.
