LOL!!!!! I'll have better things to do once we get some rain and my sinuses stop making me feel like I've been punched in the face..........
I haven't talked with anyone "in the know" of late about the illegals. With tomato planting season about on us I would venture to say the topic is going to start up again fast and furious, very shortly.
Agree..... when uncle sugar used to go through a process of miles of paper work and time from clerks cooks and bottle washers filing and processing said paper work for losing a 7 cent bullet it became a running joke to see the 290$ justification in manpower to get their 7 cents back from the gomer that lost said 7 cent bullet.
Oh. So "court fees and costs" that double the cost of a freaking traffic ticket aren't enough. Now we're going to screw speeders on the installment plan.
Kaine and his RINO buddies need to get their hands out of our pockets.
And no, my driving record's not bad enough to get hit by this. Although, I still want to know how an Amelia County deputy managed to spot that I didn't have my front plate mounted (the joys of moving up here from a state that doesn't have no front plates--no mounting screws for the front bumper), figured out that it was a Virginia car, covered the 40 yards across the field to the highway, and ran me down on US 360 at 60 mph...inside of 90 seconds. At least it's not a points violation, but I can't wait to see how much the various "fees" jack the fine up to.

How about getting the roads right the first time, then maybe they won't cost so much? The Mercury Blvd./I-64 interchange has been a disaster from day one. An entire stretch had to be rebuilt because no one - NO ONE - caught the fact that it hadn't been crowned to state specs.
"nanny-state fleecing ping"
Hehe. Guess they're figuring out ways to replace "that" revenue.I would imagine that they'll find a way to impose this on every one who's ever had a fender-bender.
"Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and General Assembly lawmakers want lousy drivers to help balance the state's budget and ease congested roads. Mr. Kaine, a Democrat, and the Republican-controlled House and Senate are each pushing "abuser-fee" programs that annually fine drivers for the number of points on their driving record or if they have been convicted of a serious offense such as drunken driving. The fines would be in addition to court fees and insurance surcharges"
Something tells me that a lot of people in Virginia
are suddenly going to be labeled "Bad Drivers".
So, they're getting punished twice (once with the ticket and a second time with this new fine)?
See my post at #14.
Good one.
I hope this won't lead to picking out a segment of society, demonizing them and then squeezing every last penny out of them that they can!
Oh, wait....
You got it......
It would be interesting, I think, to examine when they (those that voted this crappola into existence) last gave themselves a pay raise and that raise's percentage rate. This along with, of course, the other perks they enjoy at the expense of the tax payers. If nothing else, it would be beneficial data to have at voting time.
