Bacon's Rebellion: Federal Grant Produces Website and Guide Books

On December 14th, a press conference will be held in Richmond to announce new "resources" for Virginia businesses interested in providing health insurance to their workers. Governor-elect Tim Kaine is slated to attend; he has been very involved in the small business health insurance issue as Lieutenant Governor. When Kaine and Kilgore debated and moderator Larry Sabato asked what proposal of his opponent each candidate liked, Kilgore mentioned Kaine's health insurance initiative.

The resources are a website and regional guidebooks. Virginia received a series of three Federal grants, totaling $1.8 million, to study the health insurance availability issue in the state.

Me, I'd do the same thing for - oh - a grand.

Me too... as long as they foot the bill for the brochure printing... I'm surprised they didn't get NIC, or whoever does the Virginia.gov website. Maybe they did...
