We knew that Morgan Griffith would be sorely missed from the House of Delegates, but it looks like he is doing very good work for us up in Washington. Adding teeth to FOPA!

Situations like having your home abut with the school's property. Technically the second I set foot off of my property I am in violation since I don't possess a CHP.
