Racial profiling not a systemic Virginia problem
Virginia state police report finds no evidence of widespread racial profiling after a yearlong study. Col. Massengill notes traffic stops like driving while black may occur, but most discrimination complaints since 1997 were unfounded. Sheriffs and local chiefs also say profiling is rare and support training and model policies.

Wise will not seek extra bonds to cover pension debt
Gov. Bob Wise will not ask to issue more bonds to fund unfunded liabilities of the teachers judiciary and State Police retirement plans. A Consolidated Public Retirement Board report shows unfunded liability grew to 4.4 billion by summer 2001 from 4.0. Wise argues 3.9 billion in bonds could keep funded levels at 85 percent if markets recover, with potential savings and earlier payoff.
