Meet Flip-Flop Scott

Posted in on 07/31/07

There’s been plenty of debate on abusive driver fees lately – so much so, in fact, that Del. Scott Lingamfelter can’t seem to figure out which side of the debate he’s on:

“The bottom line is if you are a safe driver with only minor infractions, you have nothing to fear from this law. But real abusers – those who have a chronic record of dangerous driving or who have taken the lives of others – will and should pay for their reckless behavior.”

That was Del. Lingamfelter in the Potomac News on July 13, 2007, “Setting the record straight on abusive drivers.”

But wait! Just over a week later:

“On Monday, however, Del. L. Scott Lingamfelter (R-Prince William) joined a growing list of legislators calling for repeal, saying the measures are ‘beyond repair.’” (Washington Post, 7/24/07)

Which is it, Scott? And what will it be next week? Instead of playing politics with our transportation problems, why don’t you and your colleagues get serious about finding solutions? Stop putting up roadblocks to Democrats’ ideas for finding fair revenue sources and giving local communities tools for responsible growth. Virginians have had enough gridlock!
