That's just it though. The Virginia Commonwealth Governor is in effecta one term office, so there is no incentive to live up to campaign promises or even to benefit the citizens. He does what will benefit him when he leaves office.
The commonwealth of Virginia has just added civil penalties to traffic fines. The penalties range from $750 to $3000 on top of the traffic fies and court costs. This is in an effort to raise funds for roads without raising taxes. Ouch!!

I'll be riding down to Ol' Virginny in August. Thanks for the warning. I usually behave myself anway, but if I get sited for chickensh!t I'll spend my vacation money in some other state from now on.
Had an interesting chat with a VA State Trooper yesterday, and he wanted to make sure folks knew that the additional fines levied by the state (outside of traffic court) ARE FOR VIRGINIA RESIDENTS ONLY!
Please understand the injustice is just for VA folks who always have the option of leaving (as I did and moved to the People's Republic of Maryland)
Besides, we all have a choice not to break the law.
Okay, I'm ready for the hate blasts now..............
