I thought you might enjoy an op-ed by Governor McDonnell, published in The Hill, in which he discusses how balancing the budget by cutting spending and implementing sound economic policy is setting the stage for economic recovery and growth here in Virginia, and how the country could benefit if Washington adopted a similar approach.
This afternoon I was in Shenandoah County to cut the ribbon at Mercury Paper’s new North American headquarters in Strasburg. The company’s decision to move its headquarters from California to Virginia, and expand their existing facility, means 150 new jobs and millions in economic impact for Shenandoah County, the region and the Commonwealth. And it is the second time in two months that a major company has announced it is moving its headquarters from California to Virginia. In April Fortune 100 Company Northrop Grumman chose the Commonwealth for the site of its new corporate headquarters.
Yesterday morning, Governor McDonnell sat down for an interview on Morning Joe (MSNBC) to discuss Virginia’s job creation and education initiatives.
