Virginia’s governor could axe private terminal ops proposals

Gov. Bob McDonnell's administration could opt to scrap a state review of three proposals that aim to privatize Virginia's port operations, a move that would effectively end a nearly year-long, high-profile debate over the future operational structure of the state's cargo terminals.

Transportation Secretary Sean T. Connaughton said Wednesday that the administration is considering three courses of action regarding the three bids submitted last year.

Among them: "We could decide to terminate the whole process if we determine that the timing of the proposals and their scope is not one we are prepared to move forward on."
