@GovernorVANEW: I'm establishing a brand new state digital service team focused on making our government work more effectively, efficiently, and reliably. Our new Digital Service Director will spearhead a team of engineers, designers, and technical experts to make sure technology is being used effectively and that taxpayer dollars are being spent efficiently. At a time of unprecedented uncertainty and disruption out of Washington, Virginia can — and should — be a model of how we make smart, sound investments. https://richmond.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/article_1d2dde5a-dee6-4ed8-9c21-f098a74c0ebf.html
@csidetrader@GovernorVA Another commission to investigate how to waste more of the tax payer dollars with zero accountability or results, the Democrat way. But it sounds good which is all that matters to the Twilight Zone of Spambergernomics.
@TeamZissou@GovernorVA This is so illegals can still get VA freebies. "Spanberger’s office emphasized that Virginia Digital Service will help address federal cuts to issues like healthcare coverage and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program."
@PolitiBunnySo you’re spending tax dollars to make sure our tax dollars are spent more efficiently. You are the perfect example of what is wrong with government. lol
@NoVA_CampaignsA Medicare official is getting paid to make Virginia more efficient. This as @nickshirleyy has exposed billions in fraud… by Medicare
@Craig_S_McClure@GovernorVA YOU harbor 350,000 ILLEGAL ALIENS in Virginia. RESIGN.
@Julie4VirginiaWhat is your real motive behind this “digital service team?”
@ScVanValkenburgA great get and a sign that @GovernorVA is serious about making government work for its citizens! State capacity is vital if we want to build, lower costs, ensure people and businesses get what they need and more. Love that the Governor is leaning in. https://virginiamercury.com/2026/09/08/andrea-fletcher-tapped-to-lead-virginias-government-technology-overhaul/
