Even the NY Times notices the new Virginia Abusive Driver Fees. And they don't even apply to NY drivers. (Link requires registration). Usual liberal slant, Women and minorities most affected etc. The article notes: “We’ve heard the public’s concerns, and we take that seriously,” said the governor’s press secretary, Kevin Hall. “The legislature can revisit these issues when they reconvene in January.” No hint here of any special session. This is a well covered topic in many other blogs today including:

Virginia Federalist: Notes this is developing story.
Doug Mataconis at Below the Beltway thinks any hope of Gov. Kaine taking up the repeal cause is lost.

The Ward View takes a dim view of any official who continues to support the abuser fees.

Jim Hoeft at Bearing Drift thinks the press release speaks for itself and does not require comment.

Lowell at Raising Kaine also seems to take a dim view of the Governors press release position.

While the Shad Plank notes the size of the opposition as evidenced by 100,000+ signatures on a petition against the fees.

There are comments by BlackNell and Sic Semper Tyrannis as well.

But last and certainly not least mention goes to someone (Kenton Ngo at 750 Volt) who will be being abused longer than the rest of us if the abuser fees remain unchanged and has a great You Tube capture of part of the Assembly debate.
