We have a surplus. My guess is either a mass increase in spending, or anticipation of fewer federal funds. |
+1 Sigh. Not interested in VA becoming CA (or MD). |
DP. You forgot about NC, SC, TX, and Florida. To name just a few states where taxes are lower than VA. |
We have a surplus because Youngkin left us one. I don't expect it to last long now. |
Entirely predictable. Democrats LOVE to tax and spend other people's money. |
| Governor should veto the tax bill - 4% sales taxes on maids, landscapers, hair dressers, plumbers. . PLUS car tax on landscaper equipment. Are you kidding me?? Why the hatred of blue collar and lower income folks? Ever represent somebody in a sales tax audit? It's brutal. State Rep Vivian Watts (Annandale?) who sponsored this should be voted out. Buh Bye! |
Spanberger pledged to make Virginia more affordable. Her plans are coming to fruition. If you can't understand how these taxes help, I'm sorry that public school failed you. “Today, I am proud to unveil the beginning, the first step of these efforts, our agenda, to build a more affordable Virginia,” Spanberger said at a news conference in the state Capitol. “We cannot accept the status quo when it comes to the high cost of living. It is hurting the financial security of our economy, our communities, and our neighbors.” |

Adding here to contact your representatives if you believe tax burdening our maids, landscapers, hairdressers, and plumbers is unacceptable! This bill should be withdrawn or amended, or vote NO! |
I bet if you research these are proposed every year. Some 4,000 bills are filed annually. Fewer than 20% become law. Stop being so histrionic. You sound stupid. |
Buh bye! |
MFers are trying to deflect from the GOP dumpster fire. |
Minnesota had a surplus when Walz became Governor but it quickly evaporated. Expect the same to happen with Spanberger in charge of VA. |
| I don’t understand why they want to raise taxes. What will the money be used for? That’s a whole lot of tax increases. A lot of businesses choose to be in Va because it (previously) had been regarded as a business friendly state. |
Should we expect the Trump goons to come terrorize and murder Virginians too? |
