Talk of the economy dominated candidate for Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe's meet-and-greet appearance at Vintage 50 in Leesburg Saturday afternoon.
During his speech and the following question-and-answer section, the former Democratic National Committee chairman stressed the importance of creating incentives for companies to invest in green energy projects within the state, such as biodiesel production centers and wind farms.
"The biggest problem is we don't have a stream-lined process here in Virginia to go out and recruit big businesses" to invest in the state, McAuliffe said.
