Did Dave Nutter (7th Dist.) know what he was voting for?

That is the question that 7th District voters have been asking themselves lately. 

Just after the new civil remedial fees went into effect, a local news station asked Republican Del. Dave Nutter about the new fees and who they applied to.  Because of his blind partisanship, voting however his party bosses tell him to, and being so far out of touch with the citizens of the 7th District, he had no clue what he was supporting.



The Democratic challenger, Peggy Frank, offers the 7th District a clear alternative to Dave Nutter, and will do what is best for the district instead of what is best for a political party. 

 
Peggy Frank, via press release, stated:


The abusive driver fees, which my opponent supported in last session's transportation bill, are yet another example of how out of touch the House of Delegates is with the people of the 7 th District.  The fees my opponent approved grant immunity to out of state drivers for dangerous driving on Virginia 's roadways while taxing only Virginians.  These fees unfairly penalize Virginia drivers and are neither a reliable nor sustainable source of revenue for our transportation needs.

If you live in or near the 7th District, now is your chance to send someone to Richmond that will put your interests first.  Contact Peggy Frank's campaign to find out you can help.

It's so sad we get this level of partisan hackery from the director of one of the greatest episodes of any show in television history.  Wait... oh, good.  Different David Nutter.


Thanks to Peggy Frank... (Lowell - 8/15/2007 10:44:11 AM)
...for fighting back against "immunity for out-of-state dangerous drivers!"

That sort of laughing off of a major issue to voters that Delegate Nutter so finely performed in this clip is normally a skill that takes years in a much higher office to perfect.  Have you ever thought of running for Congress, Mr. Nutter?

Southwest has a whole slew of cool races.  We should all be looking at...

District 5:
Democrat Suzie Dixon Garner vs.
Republican Bill Carrico (Incumbent)

District 6:
Democrat Bill Thomas vs.
Republican Anne Crockett-Stark (Incumbent... barely)

District 9:
Democrat Eric Ferguson vs.
Republican Charles Poindexter
OPEN SEAT!



District 1 (ScottCoDemocrat - 8/16/2007 12:04:31 PM)
I would add

District 1;

Democrat Jerry Taylor vs.
Republican Terry Kilgore
