A Commonwealth of Opportunity
The Warner Administration, 2002-2006
“What will be said of us?
Let the children of our children say that we challenged ourselves to make Virginia – the state that led America’s first century – the state that also led America into the 21st century.
For we live in a time of transformational change, as we rush at Internet speed into an information age. In the 21st Century world, success depends on a community’s quality of life and the quality of the workforce, where ideological and partisan differences pale.
I know Virginians have the capacity to meet this future. For this is our history.
