Virginia
Special Note:
In February of 2006 we distributed this press release to all major newspapers in Virginia. We pointed out the obvious conflict of interest of a legislator, who is also a principal in a law firm that caters to clients with traffic ticket cases, drafting legislation that will directly benefit his business. Delegate, and attorney, David Albo was the primary sponsor of the legislation that has become the “abusive driver fees” law.
To our knowledge, not one paper saw fit to publish our press release or to verify the validity of our claims. Thursday, July 20, 2007, when the Governor and leaders from both parties circled the wagons to defend “Albo’s abusive driver fees law, the press was there and was paying attention, Albo wasn’t. Do you suppose that was because someone from the press might have asked a pointed question regarding his motive for promoting a bill that should have been named “the abuse of drivers” legislation?
