And this must be done before they allocate the next round of tens of billions of dollars for transportation projects. The full implications of the Virginia Supreme Court's decision to upend the most repellent aspects of the controversial transportation plan have not been fully appreciated by either the media or the elected officials scrambling for a quick fix to preserve reputations and the piles of money the law would lay in their laps.

Though unsuccessful, the suit so frightened the pols that the protections they had once refused were rushed into law. Virginia's Concord may have been last November's election when many of those responsible were flushed from office, and Republican influence over state policies diminished.
Ronald D. Utt. I sincerely hope all citizens read this article carefully. It reveals how badly we need to wrest back control of our government in Richmond. Our representation there is failing miserably.
