Should those of us who dare to be courageous enough to say this is WRONG, be afraid of reprisals from this board primarily composed of towing competitors? There have been quite a few towers who have taken their own time to dig deep into many of the darker corridors that this board lives in, and they were fearless enough to expose this board and it's lack of integrity. Will some of these towers end up in the cross hairs of this board? It seems as if the Commonwealth has employed the fox to guard the hen house. So what happens when the hens start to disappear? Oh yeah, I know, then the fat fox lives happily ever after! A republican would never hire a democrat to run their election campiagn, nor would a democrat hire a republican to do the same. Why? Because it does not make good sense! Please can someone explain to me why we would have a tower regulate another tower? My employer would never hire our competition down the street to come in and tell him how to run his towing service. I am far from being formally educated, but I do understand the term "CONFLICT OF INTEREST". I have heard all of the "off the record" comments regarding the board members and their conscience free lobbyists opinions of those towers they choose to disrespect, however did the board really and truly think we were so stupid that we would just take them at face value, we would just lay down and accept their shady ways as our own? It is evident to me that after the shake up in Richmond, this board was banking on our naivete. They anticipated our trust, knowing they would have to take advantage of that very same trust. Perhaps the Commonwealth should be looking into rogue boards they have put in place, rather than focusing on rogue towers, that can easily be controlled by enforcing already existing rules designated for the towing industry. I read in the paper today that the budget for Va is falling short this year, so why don't we stop funding this corrupt board and give the money back to the great deserving people of Virginia.
