Macker-Meter

PolitiFact Virginia has compiled promises that Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe made during the 2013 campaign and is tracking their progress on our Macker-Meter. We rate their status as Not Yet Rated, In the Works or Stalled. Once we find action is completed, we rate them Promise Kept, Compromise or Promise Broken.
