All I have to say is Virginians can't have it both ways. Somehow the state needs to generate money and if they can't do it via raising taxes because of voter unwillingness then this might a legitimate, though shady, way to mitigate the state's inability to generate money.

Va is fine with raising taxes its the wasted money that we have a problem with. We have VDOT which runs our highways and they are a mess and screw up just about everything they touch. All we want is the state to cut back on wast and fix a broken system then maybe we would be more willing to pay for these new roads. In the meantime I'll just keep from getting any major tickets as they are the only ones with these heavy cicil fees.
