Talk:Civil Remedial Fees (Virginia)

This is not a fee
The most correct word should be used to describe this scheme in the prose.

This is not a fee because there is no service being offered.

This is not a penalty because the penalty is directly associated with the citation. Furthermore, a penalty is designed to be a deterrent, and as the prose clearly states, any deterrent effect of this tax is only a "side-benefit."

Several news articles clearly show that legislative intent is to increase revenue. Even the AAA was on record supporting this tax because it would offset increases in other taxes.

This is a tax. Call it what it is. Don't use the legislature's whitewashed langauge.
