Actually, I thought tobacco companies were the biggest contributors and that's why we can't get a smoking ban in restaurants in VA.

NoSUV, do you know how many bills are presented and reviewed each year, and how very little time the delegates really have to study them?
Do you really think that any of the delegates cares about the nuances of this little hybrid bill? Do you really think that any of the delegates are immune to the largest supplier of campaign contributions (the auto dealers of Virginia)? I have no problem with the legislature extending the exemption on I66, or the other roads in Tidewater and elsewhere. But there is no arguing with VDOT's professional assertion that the hybrids increase congestion on OUR I95 carpool lanes and thereby increase overall pollution output as well as dis-incent ridesharing. A better bill might have been crafted that ended the I95 exemption, and I would bet it, too, would have passed unanimously because this bill is small potatoes in the transportation budget war being waged today in Richmond. |

Bob,
Thanks for the posting the info on the N Va delegates and their committee mambership. Appears that the only two delegates on the TC who have I-95/395 go through their districts are from Arlington and Alexandria. (It would be interesting to know what, if any, input they solicit from Fairfax, PW, Stafford, and Spotsy county commuters? And does anyone even know what their positions are on such south-of-the beltway commuter hot buttons as HOV, hybrids, HOT lanes, car pooling, etc.?) And, the other two N Va reps from Leesburg and Centreville on the TC have other transportation issues in the I-66 and Dulles Access & Toll Road/Greenway directions. |

Troll,
Your wonderful House voted last year to freeze the hybrids. They dont exactly agree with the positions you have stated over the past couple of years do they? And by the way, we all know who is posting the garbage on this site don't we? Rather obvious too. |
