In 2002 Annie B Crockett-Stark's campaign manager and legislative aide, Anthony Reedy, received a ticket and was tried in the Smyth County General District Court - Criminal Division. The charge was reckless driving under Virginia Code Section 46.2-852. Had Anthony Reedy been convicted of the same offense today, civil remedial fees would apply to the crime and force him to pay $1,050. The text of HB3202:
Reckless driving in violation of Article 7 (§ 46.2-852 et seq.) of Chapter 8 or aggressive driving in violation of § 46.2-868.1 shall be assessed a fee to be paid in three annual payments of $350 each;
You might still be wondering why this is relevant to the title. Well, only a short time ago, Delegate Crockett-Stark was quoted in the Wytheville Enterprise...
Crockett-Stark also said it is important to remember that people won't be slapped with the fees for simple traffic violations, saying that in general someone has to be "drunk, drugged or on a revoked license" to be affected by the fees.
Lets see... the offense, if committed today, is eligible for abuser fees. In order to be subject to them, according to Delegate Crockett-Stark, you have to be drunk, drugged, or on a revoked license. If she's telling the truth about abuser fees Anthony Reedy would, per her own words, have to have been drunk, drugged, or on a revoked license in 2002... Hardly the type of person we want handling legislative affairs for the 6th District, wouldn't you agree?
If she's lying or simply doesn't understand the legislation, that seems almost worse by comparison. If she doesn't even understand the bill, how can she hope to explain it to her constituents? I don't know about you, but I find her campaign of misinformation to voters and constituents simply appalling.
It's probably closer to the truth that Delegate Crockett-Stark has no clue what she voted on. Not surprising, given what she said in the Roanoke Times not so long ago...
"Truthfully, the hardest thing for me is learning to read the bills," she said in an interview last week.
She once marched into the office of House Majority Leader Morgan Griffith, R-Salem, with a bill and said: "Tell me what I just read."
Is Annie B trying to pull the wool over our eyes, or is unaware of the consequences of bad legislation she voted on? What's the real story behind her campaign manager's accident? You be the judge.

This website is the biggest joke ever. Anne B is a beloved daughter of the 6th district and you wont demonize her, I am a former resident (she taught me) but havent been back in a while. I suggest a different tactic if you want to beat her. Good Luck! and yay for free speech. I just think you are fighting a losing battle here.
