An Abuser Fee U-Turn or a Detour?

Today, Del. Dave Albo announced he was voting to repeal abuser fees even though he thinks they are "a good concept" and after introducing a bill this session to expand abuser fees. Here's the video:



Huh? Not Larry Sabato and Raising Kaine declared that Delegate Albo has surrendered. Well if you can figure out exactly what in the world he's saying, post it up in the comments. We can't figure out exactly what he's trying to say here. It's like he's saying I'll vote your way, but you're all wrong?

Then, at the end of his statement he says he promised his constituents that he would vote against anything that treated in-state and out-of-state residents differently. Twelve months ago he boasted that abuser fees only applied to in-state residents but he voted for them anyways? Here's the video:



Confused about his position yet? So are we. Delegate Albo - one simple question.

Do you still support "abuser fees" or not?
Yes or no.
You can't support them AND vote for repeal.
