What an idiot.
-In a remarkable display of out-of-touch politics, Delegate David Albo Tuesday announced his intentions to reintroduce his now infamous Abuser Fees legislation. The legislation, which was repealed in 2008 in the face of overwhelming public opposition, resulted in up to $3,000 traffic tickets on Virginian residents.
"I think that is the way we go, I think we can get enough votes..." Albo boasted at Tuesday's Mason Neck Civic Association Candidates Forum. "It's a plan that I've passed out of the House of Delegates, and it's a plan that can pass again."
The Abuser Fees, which led to thousands of dollars in surcharges for Virginia--but not out-of-state--drivers on even minor traffic infractions led to a widespread disapproval from Republicans and Democrats alike. Nearly 180,000 Virginians signed an online petition against the legislation. At its repeal in 2008 in the face of overwhelming public disapproval, even Albo, author and lead sponsor of the legislation, voted to repeal the fees. Now, he plans to again pursue this unpopular, unfair tax.
Breathtakingly stupid on every level. How has this loser kept getting elected? My god.
