In 2004, Sen. Charles Hawkins nominated Walter Coles to serve on the Roanoke River Basin Advisory Committee.
The Roanoke River Basin Advisory Committee is an advisory committee to the Virginia delegation to the Roanoke River Basin Bi-State Commission.
The Bi-State Commission's purpose is to provide guidance and make recommendations to local, state and federal legislative and administrative bodies regarding use, stewardship and enhancement of the Basin's water and other natural resources.
The commission provides a forum for discussion of issues affecting the basin's water quantity, quality and other natural resources.
It also identifies basin-related problems, recommends appropriate solutions, undertakes studies and prepares, publishes and disseminates information through reports.
The Senate Rules Committee reappointed Coles in 2006.
Coles' term expired on June 30 and he was eligible for reappointment. The Senate Rules Committee did reappoint him and he will serve through 2010.
When the General Assembly convenes next session Virginia Uranium lobbyist Whittington W. Clement will be lobbying on behalf of Virginia Uranium regarding "matters relating to the establishment of a regulatory program controlling development of Virginia's uranium resources."
I guess some can have their (yellow) cake...and eat it, too.
