Our state dog club federation finally, as of last year, hired a lobbiest. It's the best money we ever spent. We're Ground Zero for PETA (they're in Norfolk), and to add insult to injury, a couple of rich San Franciscans have moved to the state, and have been writing bills as fast as they could wield a pen. We got hit with 23 bills this session!
These Californians have decided to teach the stupid hillbillies in Virginia how to wear shoes. I fervently wish they'd GO HOME.
We are still fighting a very large, corrupt, BLUE system. Our state is evil.
