We, the citizens of Virginia, are opposed to the outrageous and unjust tax:

1. The tax inflict a punishment on drivers that have a fuel-efficient car.
2. The proposed ways of collecting this tax is a violation of privacy.

We, the undersigned, demand the immediate suspension of any joint subcommittee that would look into this issue since it is a waste of taxpayer money. We will not vote for any state Delegate or State Senator who would vote for this bill if it is created, or for any Delegate or Senator who does not take action to stop this bill from being created.




Del. David Poisson (D-northeastern Loudoun) proposed legislation Oct. 29 that would replace the state's fuel tax with a tax on automobile mileage.
He is calling for the creation of a joint subcommittee that would look into this issue.
With the technology currently available, Poisson said, tracking mileage could be done at the pump, through Global Positioning Systems or annually during vehicle state inspections.
The problem that may arise with GPS is that not all drivers use them and it may be viewed as a violation of privacy, the delegate said.
The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Rules. Either the committee will kill it, or they will move it on. At this point, the best way to be heard is to contact those committee members.
There are two Hampton Roads delegates on that committee. They are:
Del. Johnny Joannou - (804) 698-1079
Lionell Spruill Jr. - (804) 698-1077

    • I have no alternate method of transportation. There is no park and ride near Gainesvillle. I live there and work in Ashburn. I moved to Gainesville because I couldn't afford anything nearer to the built up areas. To tax by mileage undermines me trying to live somewhere affordable. My family has already compromised in this. I will not vote for anyone that supports this tax!
