I was recently on I-95 driving south from DC and once over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge I began looking for a rest stop. What I found was the first and second stops on that road were closed. I did not find a stop until turning off on I-64 east of Richmond. I read in the Virginian Pilot today that in order to save money Virginia has closed 19 interstate rest areas and the Transportation Board has had its funding cut by $ 1.5 billion over 6 years. It is reported in this paper that the Republican candidate for governor has stated he will not raise taxes (what else would you expect from a republican) and is critical of the democratic candidate for not making a similiar pledge. So you want to drive an interstate and have no where to stop for a break or rest or some information? Well, find a bush, Audrey.
