Politics: Finally
I don't even use Smart Tag, and even I'm happy that the Virginia drive-fast-through-the-tollgates system will be merging with the other seven states that use this in the Northeast. This Post item doesn't mention the reason the commonwealth wasn't doing this previously. Dig a little and I think you'll find that former Virginia Governor Republican Jim Gilmore had barred the idea because of a combination of states' rights goofiness and paranoia about big city folks being able to track Virginia drivers. Oy.
