So w hb2290 you can steal $999 repeatedly !
Brilliant
Since #fairfaxcounty isn't prosecuting assault maybe you could punch someone in the face to speed the transaction.

This bill is a disaster waiting to happen. Does Ken Plum care about my
home getting vandalized for under $999. What has the Democrat
Party become?
