The Virginia House of Delegates voted nearly unanimously Tuesday to abolish an unpopular set of “abuser fees” on bad drivers, but set up a clash with the Kaine administration by pairing the measure with a change to a separate car tax. With no debate, the House quickly voted 95-2 to send the bill, introduced by Del. Clarke Hogan, R-South Boston, to the state Senate. The decision signals that longtime Republican supporters of the fees, including Speaker Bill Howell and Del. David Albo, have abandoned trying to keep them afloat in the face of overwhelming opposition.
