Have you been satisfied with the restaurant smoking ban since it was enacted in December?
A Newschannel-3 undercover investigation revealed some possible holes in VirginiaÂs new smoking ban at bars and restaurants. What do you think? Should there be any requirements on how much space bars and restaurants designate for smoking and non-smoking? Have you been satisfied with what youÂve seen since the law was enacted in December? Do you know of any bars or restaurants that might be breaking the law? Tell Newschannel-3 and our Bar-Busters will take action and investigate.
Do you support this bill?
Local lawmakers want to let military personnel use high-occupancy-vehicle lanes even if they are riding solo.
The bill introduced by Delegate Chris Stolle of Virginia Beach was approved unanimously in a house subcommittee this morning.
It would allow active-duty service members in uniform to use the HOV lanes on 64 and 264 when traveling to or from a military base regardless of how many passengers are in the car.
The idea is supposed to benefit all Hampton Roads drivers because it would take some of the traffic out of regular lanes.
A similar bill has also been introduced in the Senate by Jeffrey McWaters of Virginia Beach

No, those lanes were made for High Occupancy Vehicles and Motorcycles. It was intended to make the military car pool to get less vehicles on the road. This is Ridiculous and is definitely not what the HOV lanes were built for.

I traveled to NC on Sunday and I just wanted to say, the road conditions are like night and day. As soon as I got into NC both lanes were clean! I find it hard to believe that the commonwealth of VA with all its tax dollars can't maintain its roads any better than they do.

Why don't they just carpool like they should be doing. The government should be making it manditory for them to carpool to save on car emmission and gas.

Snow Chairs
Up North, when people clear snow from parking spots, they "save the spot" with a chair. Would that work here? Would you honor the snow chair?
-
The construtive labor of others should be respected. If it was vice versa I would my laber to be respected. Only a lazy person even look for a spot that someone else has cleared.

No, I would not move the chairs out of respect for the person who took the time and energy to shovel out the space. I've had snow chairs myself and know the feeling of returning to find the spot you cleared out taken by a disrespectful person.

Are school officials being too hard on this student?
A 9-year-old honor roll student at Arrowhead Elementary school in Virginia Beach has been suspended for trying to convince a friend to NOT bring a toy gun to school. A friend of Cassmeir Hutchinson's showed him the toy gun at a bus stop, Cassmeir told his friend to leave it so he wouldn't get in trouble. In the process Cassmeir touched the gun. So the school suspended both boys.
Virginia Beach City Public Scools' Code of Conduct says students will be disciplined for firearms and look-a-like weapons, on school campus or anywhere that is an extension of schools like bus stops. And since Cassmeir admitted to touching the toy, the school said he was brandishing a look-a-like firearm.

As usual, the school administrators are over-reacting and look like fools. This zero-tolerance policy is stupid and ridiculous and hurts the children. I would expect administrators to use common sense and re-evaluation this situation.

The rules are the rules and no guns fake or real are allowed. If you bend the rules for one student you might as well not have the rule.

America's Top 75 Worst Traffic Commutes
What's the worst traffic bottleneck in Hampton Roads? According to a new study, it's the City Hall Ave. exit on I-264 in Norfolk. That area ranked as the 18th worst in the country! Do you agree? Know of a spot that you think is worse? Let us know!
Should felons in prison be allowed to vote?
A federal court in Washington state has ruled felons in prison should be allowed to vote. The ruling overturns a state law that banned felons from voting until they are released and off parole. Two judges making the ruling say the law violates The Voting Rights Act and discriminated against racial minorities. What do you think?
Q: Do you agree with the company decision?
A Michigan defense contractor will voluntarily stop stamping references to Bible verses on combat rifle sights sold to the U.S. military, a major buyer of the company's gear.
In a statement released Thursday, Trijicon of Wixom, Mich., says it is also providing to the armed forces, free of charge, modification kits to remove the Scripture citations from the telescoping sights already in use.
The Marine Corps has purchased more than 200,000 Trijicon sights and the Army has bought about 100,000.
The references raised concerns the citations break a government rule that bars proselytizing by American troops.
Truth Truck Controversy
Are the Oklahoma Truth Trucks showing pictures of abortions appropriate or are they crossing the line?
Should bible verses appear on military weapons?
According to the Navy Times, bible verses have been appearing on several rifles used in battle and itÂs been getting criticism that military and religion are mixing too much. The manufacturer of the guns says that the verses are meant to inspire soldiers to return home safely but the military religious freedom foundation says the practice allows insurgents to claim the U.S. is waging a holy war and puts some troops in an unfair, unwanted situation.

I think that a lot of the soldiers don't even know they are on the weapons... So, yet again someone overthinking for us. Thank you for saving me the brain cells.

Would you support a bill to decriminalize simple possession of marijuana in Virginia?
Del. Harvey B. Morgan, the Republican who represents Virginia's 98th district, is sponsoring a bill in the General Assembly to decriminalize simple possession of marijuana.

It is not a gateway drug it is the only one I have ever done. If it was legalized I would be smoking right NOW!!!!! GOD bless

It is about time that a politician has stepped up to the plate to represent the people, I if this bill does come to a vote where public is allowed to make a decision there is a very high likelihood this bill will pass and Harvey Morgan will be remembered as a politician that stood with the people.

I agree and support housebill 1134. It doesn't make much sense that something like alcohol and cigarettes are perfectly legal and regualted when marijuana is actually proven to have medical benefit.

What do you think about Pat Robertson's Comment?
The Rev. Pat Robertson, on his CBN broadcast today, offered his own explanation of the earthquake in Haiti:
"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," he said. "They were under the heel of the French ... and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you'll get us free from the French.'
"True story. And the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal,'" Robertson said. "Ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after another."
-
completely out of order! This is a country in need of our support not statements of the devil is out to get them. As a leader/TV/commu-nity he should choose his words more wisely. Very disappointed and disturbed by his actions and his network to air such nonsense!!!!

Pat is not truly a man of God. Would you say, people who killed Jews or enslaved blacks should live wealthy lives. We need to educate and love one another and understand each other. The God that I serve is not a petty person like Pat Robertson. Pat you need to shut up.

What do you think about increasing the speed limit?
It was one of his campaign promises, and now Governor Elect Bob McDonnell wants to fullfill it during the next 60 days.
McDonnell spokesperson Tucker Martin says he McDonnell wants to increase the speed limit to 70 miles per hour in rural areas of the state in order to help the flow of traffic. It would affect interstates 95, 64, 81 and 77.
But some people don't like the idea. "Look at the traffic fatalities that are occurring. That would be a death trap", says Angelo Nix.
Rachel Thom agrees "At 70mph, people will go 90 mph - and that's way over the speed limit...and I don't think that's a good idea".
But Communications Director Tucker Martin says they've done some research and there's more to come. " And we think it'll make traffic move quicker in some of the sparsely populated spots in Virginia..but we want to do it in a way that's safe for motorists and safe for law enforcement", says Martin.
Martin says he expects widespread support from the General Assembly.

That wonâÂÂt work; the only way to decrease the traffic is get the cars off the road. Not to mention the increased Fossil Fuel usage. Why do you think they decreased the speed limit back in the seventies from 75 to 55 MPH because there wasnâÂÂt any traffic?
