Oh bite me!
Geez Louise. How many times do we have to beat this dead horse to death???
The people in No. Va. have been complaining about the roads for at least 20 years. Every last damn square inch of ground could be paved over and people would still holler for "more and better roads".
Until VDOT can prove to me that they can be trusted with our money, they should not receive one more nickel in state funds. NOT ANOTHER NICKEL!
I haven't been in NoVa in a while, but I do have to contend with the roads of the red-headed step child of the Commonwealth.........
With that said I will tell you all the roads here on the Eastern Shore are one H-E-double hockey stick of a lot better than any roads in Delaware.......I couldn't wait to get the heck out of there today. DelDot makes VDOT look like a precision timepiece.
And let's not forget that when Mark Warner gave them the opportunity to vote on raising local taxes for transportation needs, the people of Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads not only said "no," they said "HELL NO!"
Thus the reason Tim Kaine suddenly no longer liked the idea of referendum.
