Her attendance record for the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) and the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) seemed like a good place to start. Devolites Davis was appointed to the NVTC in July 2004, and first began attending meetings in October 2004. She has served on the NVTA since June 2006.No wonder when asked about support from local NOVA leaders (or lack thereof) for her precious transportation bill, she responded: "I have not had discussions with the particular people."According to NVTC meeting minutes as of June 2007, she has managed to attend a grand total of eight meetings and missed 22, racking up a dismal 26% attendance record - the worst of any commissioner except her fellow Republican, Loudoun County Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (who hasn't attended any at all since April 2005).
Devolites Davis' longest streak was ten absences in [a] row from June 2005 to May 2006, during which time the 2006 regular session of the General Assembly adjourned mired in gridlock over transportation funding.
She's fared slightly better in her time on the NVTA, attending fully half of the meetings as of May 2007. That's the third worst attendance record on the Authority.
