Virginia law makers always pride themselves in their "No New Taxes" slogan. It's obvious that there's a shortfall in the state budget and instead of raising taxes they are going around shaking down motorists. What a f'ing racket!

All I have to say is Virginians can't have it both ways. Somehow the state needs to generate money and if they can't do it via raising taxes because of voter unwillingness then this might a legitimate, though shady, way to mitigate the state's inability to generate money.
