Quote History Quoted:
You are buying into the incumbant's spin. The reason some juridictions have lower fees is because someone in a leadership role decided to lower them. The Clerk can act passively and claim he/she has no power and must collect the maximum fees or be a leader and make efforts to lower them by forgoing his fees and/or asking local law enforcement to do checks for less (or no charge). If Madison and Orange can charge $15 so can Culpeper with proper leadership.
The reason we have crappy gun laws is because people tend to accept the status quo and buy into politicians BS.
