ARLINGTON — At the January meeting of the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission, Ron Meyer, a Loudoun County Supervisor and NVTC Commissioner tried to lobby the commission to demand a change, or if he had his way, a total abolishment of the new tolls on Interstate 66 inside the Captial Beltway. 

We reported Virginia Deputy Transportation Secretary Nick Donohue was placed in the hot seat during this same meeting, where he took questions from many commissioners — some who were angry, and some who were confused over the new tolling system, the way it was rolled out in December, and why tolls shot up to as high as $44 for a one-way trip.

Joshua Cole, who nearly beat Republican Bob Thomas in a recount election for the 28th District in Fredericksburg and Stafford County, spoke at the rally where organizers called for more funding to audit the State Board of Elections to find out why 86 voters in the 28th district were mistakenly given ballots for the neighboring 88th District.
