From Phil Cox at Opportunity Virginia PAC:
Just hours ago CNBC released its annual Top States for Business ranking, and we are very pleased to relay that Virginia was awarded the #1 spot - with the highest vote total in the history of the study!
Governor McDonnell’s top priority since taking office has been to create more jobs and bring more opportunity to every corner of the Commonwealth, and while we’ve still got a lot of work to do, his consistent focus on that priority is producing a record of results that all Virginians can be proud of. In fact, unemployment in Virginia has dropped from 7.2% in February of 2010 to 6.0% last month – the third lowest unemployment rate east of the Mississippi.
Governor McDonnell sat down with CNBC today to discuss Virginia’s #1 ranking and the steps he’s taken to reduce bureaucracy, help the private sector create jobs and increase Virginia’s competitiveness. I have included the video clip below – please share the great news with friends, family, neighbors and coworkers, and thank you very much for your continued support!

Isn’t this great? Between NJ and VA, there will be two examples of fiscal restraint and job creation beacons.
