"Chucky's back!"

If we had to have an ex-Virginian democRAT governor to head the panel, wouldn't Doug Wilder have been preferable to Chucky Bird??

As much as I think Coke Robb is a slimeball, he would have more expertise than Wilder that would relate to the issue.

And Chuck probably has a lot of time on his hands these days. I think Doug is busy trying to get the strong mayor legislation through the G.A.
