Supporters of Unconditional Repeal of the Ticket Fees
- Watkins M. Abbitt, Jr. (I) "I would vote to repeal HB 3202."
- Ward L. Armstrong (D) Regarding modifying the fees: "It's like putting new tires on a car with no motor... You're not going to get far." Roanoke Times, 8/23/07
- Robert B. Bell (R) "There's a clear consensus that the fees right now are a mistake... I don't think there’s any realistic tweaking to do on this bill." Daily Progress, 8/23/07
- Danny C. Bowling (D) "I'll vote to repeal it." -- Bluefield Daily Telegraph, 7/31/07
- Mark L. Cole (R) "I have consistently opposed the "abuser fee" bill every time since it was first introduced several years ago and will support its total repeal."
- Adam P. Ebbin (D) "I have consistently opposed these excessive new fees as a means of addressing our transportation funding crisis."
- David L. Englin (D) "It's bad public policy to use law-breaking as a revenue stream to fund roads."
- Jeffrey M. Frederick (R) Editor: Delegate Frederick sent Gov. Kaine a letter calling for a special session for repeal of the fees.
- Robert D. Hull (D) "Sorry, Governor, even though we are both Democrats, I strongly disagree with you and hope that this miserable law is repealed." From 7/26/07 op-ed
- L. Scott Lingamfelter (R) Support for repeal cited in Potomac News interview.
- Joseph P. Johnson, Jr. (D) "I voted No to HB 3202 and will continue to oppose it."
- Robert G. Marshall (R) "I have come to realize over time that none of these fees are acceptable, even those in previously proposed legislation that I supported." Called for special session.
- Kenneth R. Melvin (D) "Yes, I will support a repeal. I've consistently voted against that foolish legislation."
- Jackson Miller (R) "If the only options on the table are to 1. keep the current form. Or 2. repeal them, then yes I would vote to repeal them." Supports special session.
- Brian J. Moran (D) "The fees are excessive, the implementation flawed and unfair, and the policy is in error."
- Kenneth R. Plum (D) "Yes."
- Mark D. Sickles (D) "This was a mistake and I share in the blame for it. If this inequity cannot be fixed in the short run, I will vote to repeal the entire civil remedial fee part of the bill."
- Lionell Spruill, Sr. (D) "I will vote to support repealing these unfair fines impossed on the citizens of the Commonwealth.
- David J. Toscano (D) "It's bad policy. It's a bad way to raise transportation money." Daily Progress, 8/23/07
Support Modifying/Expanding the Fees or Did Not Answer Directly
- David B. Albo (R) "I wish we could all get to the point where everyone understands what's in the bill and what is not in, and we could discuss improving it, or if people still want to, repealing it. For example, it is a legitimate complaint that the bill applies only to in state (drivers)."
- Clifford L. Athey, Jr. (R) "It was only meant to apply to drunk driving, and other felonies and Class 1 misdemeanors which require incarceration of up to 1 year in jail. Upon further reflection, I have requested that the Governor call a Special Session under Article IV, Section 6 of the Constitution to remedy the problem."
- Rosalyn R. Dance (D) "During the next session I am committed to supporting legislation to amend the current version of HB3202 related to the amount of civil fees and the current application to 'Virginian's Only.'"
- Phillip A. Hamilton (R) "While the legislation may need to be refined, I do not support the “unconditional and complete repeal of the civil remedial (fees)."
