David Yancey issues jobs plan

David Yancey, Republican candidate for the state's House of Delegates District, issued a jobs plan this week saying he'll "work with Gov. McDonnell to make Virginia the most business friendly state in the country."

"As a small business owner and entrepreneur, I understand the needs of businesses to grow and create jobs. Businesses need a stable regulatory environment that encourages investment and growth," Yancey said.

Yancey's jobs plan calls for the lowering of taxes on families and businesses; expanding the governor's "business friendly" agenda; promoting affordable energy; modernizing the region's transportation network and promoting tax credits for businesses.

Yancey in running for the seat vacated at the end of August by longtime delegate Glenn Oder, R-Newport News, who left the House to take over as head of the Fort Monroe Authority. Yancey is running against Democratic candidate Gary West, a Newport News attorney.

Here is Yancey's jobs plan in it's entirety as released this week:

David Yancey's Plan for Virginia Jobs

• Lower taxes on families and businesses to help foster job creation.
• Expand on the Governor's business friendly agenda to help attract new companies to our area.
•  Promote affordable energy, including offshore exploration of oil and gas, as well as nuclear, solar and wind production.
• Modernize our transportation network, by reducing congestion on the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel and I-64, so companies can transport their goods around the country.
• Promote tax credits for business that expand and create more jobs.

Well another McDonnell clone that can't think for himself. How many people does this guy employ?? I have never heard of him and I have lived here almost 40 years and have been on many boards.
Does his family live here? I know he works for his dad but do his children go to school here?
What had he done for his community? These are the things I want to know.
