Rob Wittman's Weekly Update
Spending time in the outdoors has been a passion of mine for my entire life, as it is for many folks in the First District. I have been proud to take the lead on a number of policies in Congress that help to preserve our great natural areas for current and future generations to enjoy. I was honored this past week to receive the Conservationist of the Year Award from the Virginia Chapter of Ducks Unlimited at its state convention in Williamsburg, as well as the 2015 Ducks Unlimited Wetland Conservation Achievement Award in the Federal Official category at the 80th North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference. The sporting community does a fantastic job raising awareness of the value of conservation, and I am honored to stand by members of this community as they prioritize waterfowl and wetlands conservation. Activities like hunting and angling also provide an economic benefit to our region and to conservation efforts as a whole, and I will continue to support commonsense policies to conserve our natural areas for public enjoyment. Economic activity is often an underappreciated part of the efforts to protect natural areas and promote plant and animal habitat growth. The Chesapeake Bay, for example, is the source of millions of dollars of economic activity for our region, which is a major reason why I fought for so long to pass my Chesapeake Bay Accountability and Recovery Act through Congress. This bill, which I first introduced in 2008 and was signed into law by the president in December, will enhance and streamline efforts to preserve the Chesapeake Bay, our nation's largest estuary. My efforts now involve making sure that the law is implemented effectively to achieve its desired goals, and I am working with other lawmakers and federal agencies to get this important work done. Economic growth is also a significant factor in many of my policy priorities, including education. I am particularly passionate about improving workforce development and ensuring that educational institutions and employers are on the same page in terms of understanding the types of jobs and skills that are in demand in today's job market. I recently held a roundtable at Germanna Community College with local educational professionals from Germanna and the Fredericksburg area to discuss these types of issues. Often, simply gathering a variety of stakeholders together to consider important issues – such as effective workforce development programs – can be the catalyst for further growth in those areas. Our teachers and career development counselors, as well as institutions like Germanna, do a great job of preparing our students for rewarding careers, and I am truly excited about the potential of our next generation of leaders. The main streets of Virginia's First District are full of ideas to get our economy back on track, and your feedback is critically important to me as I serve you.

Rob Wittman's Weekly Update
One of the main functions of any governing body is to plan for the future, and much of the early part of 2015 in Congress has been focused on just that, especially now that the budget process for Fiscal Year 2016 is underway. Of course, the future is never certain, and that is why I have been consistently calling for proper funding for our military, which has already been forced to undergo serious, disproportionate cuts in recent years. Our military leaders have been sounding the alarm about the impacts of defense cuts on our military's readiness. As Chairman of the House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee, I too am determined to make sure my fellow legislators understand the critical nature of this issue. In private meetings and public hearings this week and in the last few months, I have met with a variety of our service chiefs and combatant commanders, as well as military civilian leadership and the Secretary of Defense. The dangers of serious defense cuts have been reiterated in each of these interactions. Visits to military installations around Virginia, and across the nation and world, have also reinforced my determination to see that our servicemen and women receive the resources their missions require. Just recently, I was fortunate to meet the skilled folks at U.S. Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base and gain a more solid understanding of how their important work has powerful impacts across the scope of our military's operations. I also enjoyed meeting with Virginia midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy, and I came away with great comfort in the future of our military's leaders. It is Congress' role to ensure that as these midshipmen volunteer to serve their nation, our military is granted the resources necessary to respond to future crises that may arise. As the budget process continues, I remain committed to pursuing a funding level for our servicemen and women that is reflective of a sound strategy to face the rising threats around the world. I have long said that our budget must be dictated by strategy, rather than the other way around. I've reiterated this principle recently in speeches to a number of audiences who support our national security infrastructure, from those involved with amphibious warships and the submarine industrial base to the precision strike community. These discussions – and many others like them – have enabled healthy exchanges of ideas about our defense capabilities and the needs of our military. I hope that you will also let me know how you feel about this and any other issues that are important to you as the year progresses. The main streets of Virginia's First District are full of ideas to get our economy back on track, and your feedback is critically important to me as I serve you.

York-Poquoson Circuit Court Clerks Office Press Release
Yorktown, Virginia, March 24, 2015 – Kristen N. Nelson, Clerk of the Circuit Court for the County of York and City of Poquoson, today announced that her office is now equipped with the Supreme Court of Virginia's Case Imaging System (CIS).
CIS gives the Circuit Court Clerk's Office the ability to maintain pleadings, orders, correspondence, exhibits, and paperwork in civil and criminal cases in a digital format. Increasing efficiency and access to critical documents, the technology will allow the Clerk's Office's to respond more promptly to requests from citizens and officers of the Court.
"We are always searching for ways to advance the latest technologies within the Clerk's Office, allowing us the ability to further improve the service we provide to the people of York and Poquoson and to the legal community," Nelson noted. "Since my appointment in August, I have made improving the technology within our office a top priority.
"This change provides access to important case information much more quickly, allowing our staff to serve attorneys, state agencies, and the public more promptly. With CIS, Clerk's Office staff will be able to view criminal and civil cases in electronic format rather than having to pull the file, reducing the amount of time callers would otherwise have to wait for a physical file to be pulled.
"The technology also gives our local attorneys the option of subscribing to Officer of the Court Remote Access (OCRA). OCRA allows secure remote access of digital case files to members in good standing of the Virginia State Bar and their authorized agents, pro hac vice attorneys authorized by the court for purposes of the practice of law, and such governmental agencies as authorized by the Clerk.
"I am committed as Clerk to protecting, preserving, and providing access to the records of this office. I will continue to pursue the advancement of office technologies, such as e-filing and e-recording. And, I welcome and encourage input on how our office can better serve the citizens of York and Poquoson and legal community."
