The last 30 years? Are you kidding? I’ll give you the last 12.
More to the point, take a look at Bob McDonnell’s career as a legislator and as attorney general. He does what he says he’s going to do.
Yes, but the legislature is filled with RINOs. Will he sign whatever they send regardless of budget impact, or will he take on his own party?
Will he reject federal funding where necessary to avoid the mandates? Will he challenge the constitutionality of of federal mandates that are unfunded? I don’t believe he did as AG.
