King Plum was a co-sponsor of the now repealed Virginia Code 46.2-206.1. In 2007, this was one of the most maligned pieces of legislation in the entire nation. It basically sought to give a $4,000 speeding ticket to those caught driving 20 MPH over the limit. And for anyone who drives on the Beltway or I-66 knows, 20 over is very easy to do based on the 55 MPH speed limits.
It got better too... King Plum's bill also was written so that only Virginia residents would have to pay this excessive fee. Residents of other states would not.
It got even better. It turned out that King Ken Plum sponsored the bill with another delegate who runs a traffic defense law practice in Virginia. Translation: traffic defense cases were going (and did) go way up after the law was passed.
Citizens of King Plum's bill became so irate that they forced Gov. Kaine to repeal the law.
This is just another prime example of why King Plum, of Reston, needs to end his 30-year reign as delegate in Virginia. 30 years is long enough! It is obvious that King Plum is out of touch and just going through the motions.
Stay tuned as we post more letters from Reston-area voters and others who think King Plum's 30-year reign should end.

Still can't get over a delegate being in this one office for 30 years! Ken Plum sounds like an ass.
