Initially, the federal government fully paid for expansion; it now pays for 90%. The Virginia General Assembly and the Governor Robert McDonnell administration did not agree to expand Medicaid. Terry McAuliffe, during his successful 2013 gubernatorial campaign, promised to expand Medicaid. He was unsuccessful. The Medicaid records in this series document the McAuliffe's expansion attempts including: removing language from the 2014 state budget that appropriated extra Medicaid funds to a Medicaid commission but only if it approved expansion; and a 2016 line item veto of budget language that prevented the governor from expanding Medicaid without its permission. The General Assembly did not recognize McAuliffe's veto; they argued the governor could not veto conditions attached to an appropriate without vetoing the entire appropriation. The Virginia General Assembly approved Medicaid expansion as part of the FY2019-2020 state budget signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam on 7 June 2018.\n","Privacy protected and confidential information is restricted from public access for 75 years (Code of Virginia 42.1-78).

As the Deputy in charge of the office's Manchester Courthouse Division, he supervised the prosecution of all cases occurring within the City of Richmond south of the James River. He also prosecuted a broad range of felonies including capital murder, rape and numerous drug and firearm offenses. \n","In 2006, Hopkins left his private practice when he was asked to serve as the Training Director for the Virginia Indigent Defense Commission, the state agency that manages Virginia's public defender system.

Initially, the federal government fully paid for expansion; it now pays for 90%. The Virginia General Assembly and the Governor Robert McDonnell administration did not agree to expand Medicaid. Terry McAuliffe, during his successful 2013 gubernatorial campaign, promised to expand Medicaid. He was unsuccessful. The Medicaid records in this series document the McAuliffe's expansion attempts including: removing language from the 2014 state budget that appropriated extra Medicaid funds to a Medicaid commission but only if it approved expansion; and a 2016 line item veto of budget language that prevented the governor from expanding Medicaid without its permission. The General Assembly did not recognize McAuliffe's veto; they argued the governor could not veto conditions attached to an appropriate without vetoing the entire appropriation. The Virginia General Assembly approved Medicaid expansion as part of the FY2019-2020 state budget signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam on 7 June 2018.\n","Privacy protected and confidential information is restricted from public access for 75 years (Code of Virginia 42.1-78).

As the Deputy in charge of the office's Manchester Courthouse Division, he supervised the prosecution of all cases occurring within the City of Richmond south of the James River. He also prosecuted a broad range of felonies including capital murder, rape and numerous drug and firearm offenses. \n","In 2006, Hopkins left his private practice when he was asked to serve as the Training Director for the Virginia Indigent Defense Commission, the state agency that manages Virginia's public defender system.

Initially, the federal government fully paid for expansion; it now pays for 90%. The Virginia General Assembly and the Governor Robert McDonnell administration did not agree to expand Medicaid. Terry McAuliffe, during his successful 2013 gubernatorial campaign, promised to expand Medicaid. He was unsuccessful. The Medicaid records in this series document the McAuliffe's expansion attempts including: removing language from the 2014 state budget that appropriated extra Medicaid funds to a Medicaid commission but only if it approved expansion; and a 2016 line item veto of budget language that prevented the governor from expanding Medicaid without its permission. The General Assembly did not recognize McAuliffe's veto; they argued the governor could not veto conditions attached to an appropriate without vetoing the entire appropriation. The Virginia General Assembly approved Medicaid expansion as part of the FY2019-2020 state budget signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam on 7 June 2018.\n","Privacy protected and confidential information is restricted from public access for 75 years (Code of Virginia 42.1-78).

As the Deputy in charge of the office's Manchester Courthouse Division, he supervised the prosecution of all cases occurring within the City of Richmond south of the James River. He also prosecuted a broad range of felonies including capital murder, rape and numerous drug and firearm offenses. \n","In 2006, Hopkins left his private practice when he was asked to serve as the Training Director for the Virginia Indigent Defense Commission, the state agency that manages Virginia's public defender system.

Initially, the federal government fully paid for expansion; it now pays for 90%. The Virginia General Assembly and the Governor Robert McDonnell administration did not agree to expand Medicaid. Terry McAuliffe, during his successful 2013 gubernatorial campaign, promised to expand Medicaid. He was unsuccessful. The Medicaid records in this series document the McAuliffe's expansion attempts including: removing language from the 2014 state budget that appropriated extra Medicaid funds to a Medicaid commission but only if it approved expansion; and a 2016 line item veto of budget language that prevented the governor from expanding Medicaid without its permission. The General Assembly did not recognize McAuliffe's veto; they argued the governor could not veto conditions attached to an appropriate without vetoing the entire appropriation. The Virginia General Assembly approved Medicaid expansion as part of the FY2019-2020 state budget signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam on 7 June 2018.\n","Privacy protected and confidential information is restricted from public access for 75 years (Code of Virginia 42.1-78).

While the Treaty of 1677 at Middle Plantation re-established these holdings, due to subsequent colonial pressure, illegal seizures of land, and Native population depletion from disease, violence, and forced resettlement, by the 19th century the only reservation lands, still diminished but intact, belonged to the Pamunkey and Mattaponi.\n","Prior to the Civil War, education was largely an individual endeavor reserved primarily for white elites who were able to afford the expense. This changed when the 1869 Virginia Constitution established the state's first public education system, and in less than a year an 1870 Act passed by the General Assembly dictated that the schools be racially segregated. As a result, localities prohibited Native children from attending white public schools and instead required them to attend schools established for Virginia's Black children. Instead of complying, many Virginia tribal groups created their own schools solely for Native children.\n","The Pamunkey and Mattaponi reservations worked together to establish, staff, and fund an educational network for their children through the 1870-1890s. While both operated schools on their respective reservations prior to the 1910s, the schools were difficult to suport due to inadequate resources and staff. Chief George F. Custalow of the Mattaponi advocated for better resources for the school and with the help of a 1916 ruling by the Assistant Attorney General of Virginia, Leslie C. Garnett, it was determined that citizens of a reservation were \"wards of the State\" and not citizens of the locality. This resulted in the Virginia Department of Education agreeing to allocate an annual sum for the education of Native children on the Pamunkey and Mattaponi reservations, starting with the 1917-1918 school year for $1012.43.","In June 1950, the two tribes voted to consolidate into one school forming the Mattaponi-Pamunkey Reservation School in order to offer a broader and better program for grades 1 through 8.

This program, while marketed as an opportunity, acted as a continuation of the Indian Boarding School era by removing these children from their homes and communities to simply receive an education. After the fight for integration in Brown v. Board of Education and solidified in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Virginia provided integrated public education for grades one through twelve resulting in the closing of the Mattaponi-Pamunkey Reservation School at the completion of the 1966 school year.\n","In addition to the Mattaponi and the Pamunkey, the tribes most prominently represented in these records, other tribes of Virginia Indians and their schools also appear in the records including: the Rappahannock; the Chickahominy and Eastern Chickahominy of Samaria School, located in Charles City County (served Indian pupils from Charles City and New Kent Counties); the Upper Mattaponi of the Sharon Indian School located in King William County (served Indians residing in that county); the Sappony of the High Plain Indian School located in Person County, NC (served Indians residing in that county and Halifax County, VA.).\n","This collection was reprocessed in 2022.\n","This collection documents the educational activities of the Virginian Indian children and the administration of the Mattaponi-Pamunkey School by the Virginia Department of Education.

Terry McAuliffe, during his successful 2013 gubernatorial campaign, promised to expand Medicaid. He was unsuccessful. The Medicaid records in this series document the McAuliffe's expansion attempts including: removing language from the 2014 state budget that appropriated extra Medicaid funds to a Medicaid commission but only if it approved expansion; and a 2016 line item veto of budget language that prevented the governor from expanding Medicaid without its permission. The General Assembly did not recognize McAuliffe's veto; they argued the governor could not veto conditions attached to an appropriate without vetoing the entire appropriation. The Virginia General Assembly approved Medicaid expansion as part of the FY2019-2020 state budget signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam on 7 June 2018.\n","Privacy protected and confidential information is restricted from public access for 75 years (Code of Virginia 42.1-78).

Members of the Executive Office include the Governor, Chief of Staff, Counsel to the Governor and their assistants. On 6 January 2014, Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe appointed Carlos Hopkins as counselor to the governor. In this Cabinet-level position, Hopkins advised the Governor on the impact current federal and state law may have on the Governor's policy proposals.  He also provided advice on executive orders, state contracts, extraditions and pardons, administrative regulations, and other executive branch matters.\n","On 1 August 2017, Governor McAuliffe appointed Hopkins as Secretary of Veterans and Defense Affairs effective 1 September.\n","Prior to assuming his position as Counsel to the Governor, Hopkins was a Deputy City Attorney for the City of Richmond, focusing on tax assessment and eminent domain litigation as well as public safety. He was instrumental in bringing together members of the administration and Council staff to address the issues surrounding the reclamation of derelict properties in the City.\n","Between 1997 and 2005, Hopkins served seven years as a prosecutor in the City of Richmond where, as a Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney he supervised the office's narcotics and Project Exile prosecutions, working closely with his federal counterparts to stem the flow of drugs and illegal firearms in the City. As the Deputy in charge of the office's Manchester Courthouse Division, he supervised the prosecution of all cases occurring within the City of Richmond south of the James River. He also prosecuted a broad range of felonies including capital murder, rape and numerous drug and firearm offenses. \n","In 2006, Hopkins left his private practice when he was asked to serve as the Training Director for the Virginia Indigent Defense Commission, the state agency that manages Virginia's public defender system. The agency also determines the eligibility criteria for court appointed counsel-those attorneys who provide a legal defense for indigent persons accused of crimes that carry a potential penalty of incarceration or death.\n","In addition to his civilian legal experiences, Hopkins is also a Lieutenant Colonel in Virginia's National Guard where he currently served as the deputy chief legal advisor to the Commanding General of the 29th Infantry Division located at Fort Belvoir.

Terry McAuliffe, during his successful 2013 gubernatorial campaign, promised to expand Medicaid. He was unsuccessful. The Medicaid records in this series document the McAuliffe's expansion attempts including: removing language from the 2014 state budget that appropriated extra Medicaid funds to a Medicaid commission but only if it approved expansion; and a 2016 line item veto of budget language that prevented the governor from expanding Medicaid without its permission. The General Assembly did not recognize McAuliffe's veto; they argued the governor could not veto conditions attached to an appropriate without vetoing the entire appropriation. The Virginia General Assembly approved Medicaid expansion as part of the FY2019-2020 state budget signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam on 7 June 2018.\n","Privacy protected and confidential information is restricted from public access for 75 years (Code of Virginia 42.1-78).

As the Deputy in charge of the office's Manchester Courthouse Division, he supervised the prosecution of all cases occurring within the City of Richmond south of the James River. He also prosecuted a broad range of felonies including capital murder, rape and numerous drug and firearm offenses. \n","In 2006, Hopkins left his private practice when he was asked to serve as the Training Director for the Virginia Indigent Defense Commission, the state agency that manages Virginia's public defender system.

Initially, the federal government fully paid for expansion; it now pays for 90%. The Virginia General Assembly and the Governor Robert McDonnell administration did not agree to expand Medicaid. Terry McAuliffe, during his successful 2013 gubernatorial campaign, promised to expand Medicaid. He was unsuccessful. The Medicaid records in this series document the McAuliffe's expansion attempts including: removing language from the 2014 state budget that appropriated extra Medicaid funds to a Medicaid commission but only if it approved expansion; and a 2016 line item veto of budget language that prevented the governor from expanding Medicaid without its permission. The General Assembly did not recognize McAuliffe's veto; they argued the governor could not veto conditions attached to an appropriate without vetoing the entire appropriation. The Virginia General Assembly approved Medicaid expansion as part of the FY2019-2020 state budget signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam on 7 June 2018.\n","Privacy protected and confidential information is restricted from public access for 75 years (Code of Virginia 42.1-78).
