Fmr. Delegate Albert Pollard has made his views known on every importnat issue that voters in the 28th Senate District are concerned with: Transportation, Immigration, and of course the Enviornment. Now you can add one more issue that Albert's taken a principled stand on: the abuser fees.From the Fauquier Times-Democrat:
"Not only are the abuser fees wrong, they're a larger sign of a broken system," he said.Don't "amend" them, don't "re-evaluate" them, get rid of them. Other local Democratic candidates speaking out against the fees include Carlos Del Toro, Bill Day, and Karen Schultz.
The fees need to be re-evaluated, and repealed until both parties can find a solution that protects the interests of Virginia residents, he said.
The GOP nominee in the 28th, Richard Stuart? Not so much.
His opponent, Richard Stuart took a slightly different approach and said the fines shouldn't be completely eliminated. Instead, they should be amended to include out-of-state drivers and to target true abusers.
"I'm not one of these out there saying we need to repeal it entirely," he said.
