I have to commend George Allen on his position on I-95 tolls. Governor McDonnell is stuck on forcing Virginians to endure more tolls on the state’s roads to fund general road construction and maintenance. We all know that the economically depressed areas of I-95 north of the North Carolina line cal ill afford to pay steep […]
