Virginia National Defense Industrial Authority
– It takes EIGHTEEN people to fulfill this mission? Figure the taxpayer only pays mileage and per diem, including lodging for overnight trips to the capitol. If they only meet once a year, figuring conservatively $200 for lodging and per diem, plus $100 for mileage, that’s $5400. Multiply that by the number of boards and advisors in the state, and you start talking some money.

We also have:
– Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth
– Virginia Small Grains Board
– Virginia Bright Flue-Cured Tobacco Board
– Alzheimer’s Disease & Related Disorders Commission

And those are just the ones announced in the governor’s press release of July 1st!
