Dear Editor, It is disturbing to me that Delegate Tim Hugo and Gov. Bob McDonnell have considered to propose a bill charging Hybrid owners a $100 annual fee. This will directly, and ultimately, negatively impact Virginia's economy by decreasing the demand for hybrid cars and promoting the purchase of cars that are not environmentally friendly. As a Citizen of Virginia and an environmentally conscious consumer I purchased a Toyota Prius C last year. I’m a young professional in the Northern Virginia area producing and editing viral web videos and I direct the annual Clifton Film Fest. I saved up for a long time to put down money and buy this specific car. I knew hybrids were more expensive than the average car, but I was also aware I’d save…

Well in a way, it makes sense, but at the same time, they should provide an incentive. Instead of charging $100 for a hybrid, they should charge $200 a year BUT allow the drivers to use the HOV lanes during rush hours without the passenger requirement on 95 and 66 and the person doesn't use or doesn't live near those corridors, they can easily apply for a waiver. It would make more sense than … more ›
