Virginia seat belt bill delayed in committee vote
In Richmond, Senator Kenneth Stolle asked a House committee to postpone his measure to toughen Virginia’s seat belt law until 2001. The bill would let police stop drivers for seat belt violations alone, with a $25 fine, and is opposed by some who fear harassment and by others who favor stricter enforcement for safety.

Independent candidate takes ballot access dispute to Supreme Court
Denise Giardina asks West Virginia’s Supreme Court to overturn a Kanawha County ruling on ballot access for independents. She argues current laws contradict each other and voters sign petitions without losing primary voting rights. Giardina must gather 12,000 signatures by the May 9 primary, and she sets aside 10 percent of contributions for charity while urging rivals to do likewise.
