Biggest Political Problem Facing Virginia
Personally, I think that the biggest political problem facing Virginia right now is funding for the roads. An article in the Richmond Times argues that a increase in taxes is necessary for Virginia to be able to have enough money to keep up with the quickly deteriorating funds. Apparently, only $2,000 has been allocated for road maintenance for the past six years. Increase in sales and gas taxes have been proposed to fix the problem.

I don't understand the importance of funding for roads. Of course roads have to be maintained and shoddy roads endanger lives, but what amazing benefit do we get from keeping pristine conditioned roads? Although I think that roads do matter, I also think there are more important issues like the economy and education.
