    A Counties, Cities and Towns subcommittee rejected Gov. Timothy M. Kaine’s centerpiece legislation to reduce traffic congestion by giving local governments more authority to slow growth if surrounding roads are not adequate.

    It would’ve been nice if he’d given as much attention in the article to the above mentioned issue, as he did to the extra abortion hurdles. Since it was as he said, “Kaine’s centerpiece legislation” doesn’t it deserve more than one paragraph?
