A dead certain addition to the RLCVA scorecard

Tom Gear’s HB 829: “Abolishes the (Hampton Roads Transportation) Authority and the taxes, fees, and charges dedicated to financing its operation and programs.”

Personally, I wish Gear would have proposed both Authorities be scotched, but with the NVTA still in court (thank you, Bob Marshall), and far too many NoVa politicians unwilling to take this step, I can understand why Gear would focus on his home region.  Either way, if the Richmond Republicans have learned their lesson, they’ll stand foursquare behind Gear’s bill.  Otherwise, they will have revealed they have learned nothing.
