as a VA resident who gets stuck in traffic UNNECESSARILY time and again, i am disappointed in this plan for OTHER reasons. below is an email I sent Gov. Kaine today in response to his plan:
i am DEEPLY disheartened that in all of your new Transportation Plan there is not ONE SINGLE REFERENCE to the responsibility VA Driver’s bear to STAY RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS. i sent a message to you via our mutual friend (name deleted). I also sent emails to all VA delegates, etc. In my opinion, not to include and fund a small campaign to educate drivers to this SIMPLE rule that could correct MOST of the ‘non-work hour’ traffic hold-up issues, not to mention alleviate a great deal of road rage. is born of great unconsciousness. I am so disappointed. I believe you are doing much good for our state and I thank you for that. You appear to be very authentic. So it’s beyond me why you would ignore something like this, that’s so simple and could do so much good, and instead do the typical governmental thing of favoring complication (though you call it simple) and doing less. I sure wish i could hear the rationale of leaving this out of the plan.

For as long as Virginia has had roads, user fees, rather than general taxation, has been our preferred method for paying for roads and bridges. There are good reasons for that policy. The Tidewater Libertarian Party remembers those reasons

User fees are ultimately most fair, do not create economic distortions, and prevent us from pursuing economically non-viable choices.

Back to the future yet again.
The oft rejected regional sales tax back.
The reviled and illogical grantor’s tax back
Now 7 projects…so Port of Va’s 3rd Crossing back

Something must be in the water in Richmond, that produces political amnesia in the capitol.
