Abstract:
Reston’s state senator, Janet Howell (D), usually a model of bipartisan gentility, is waging a
relentless, no-holds-barred battle against that soothing doyenne of happy days, Rosie Scenario.
Senator Howell believes that Governor James S. Gilmore III has recruited Rosie to mislead
Restonians and other Virginians into believing that all’s well with the state of the state’s treasury and budget.
