Mark Brooks writes:

If this bill includes the same penalties for trash operators as it does citizens, then I would be inclined to support it.

I am not hopeful that companies that haul waste will be cited or have their operator's licenses revoked or suspended.

Wow. Chuck an apple core out the window, lose your license for a month?

This sounds great. Virginia is one of the worst states for roadside litter. Between this and a bottle redemption bill, the problem could be changed. Of course the police would have to enforce this ordinance.
