Rollison was unseated from the 52nd District delegates chair of VA after serving many years. Can he be unseated again? Is his current position appointed? My solution, remove the problem from power.

If he's not elected, who appointed him? If he doesnt care about how we think, I dont beleive he should be head of anything. Rumor has it that Rollison received endorsements from large companies responsible for buidling road projects in Virginia while he was running for delegate, I can see how he cares about us and where his interest lies.

An employee of the Metro Washington Council of Govnts just gave me the actual breakdown of what tolls ought to cost to inhibit congestion:
For a Lake Ridge resident, it's $35 into the city.
For a Fredericksburg resident, it's $41.21 to the city ONE WAY.

For exact numbers:
From DC to Shirlington Rd at $1.10 per mile = 4.40
From there to the beltway it's about $1 per mile, about $9
From there to Fairfax County Parkway, it's $1.60 per mile = 6.40
From there to PWC parkway, it's .80 per mile = $14.40
From there to Fredericksburg,it's .23 per mile = $6.21

Now, my milage may not be precise, but the price per mile is straight from the analysts.

I don't know about you, but we don't have $17,500 available for commuting. If too many people Slug, then the competing toll companies have mentioned they may have to charge HOVs.

How is this not a Lexus/Limo lane?

Send a letter to the editor of your newspaper. Rollison, the head of the VDOT advisory panel does not care what you think, and your elected officials have no say in the matter. At least when HOT happens, we can say we were not complacent about the decision.
