Hey Glenn Youngkin, why am I still paying tax on groceries?

What? They are not getting rid of the safety inspection. And why would you want that?!?

Most states don’t have a yearly safety inspection, or any safety inspection at all for that matter. I grew up in Ohio and people were driving all sorts of crappy cars in far worse weather but it’s up to people to keep their cars running, not the government. It’s an annoying pain to have to pull up to a random service station and hope the line isn’t 2 hours long and that they’re actually doing inspections that day at all.

Given that precedent, the Democrats in the General Assembly likely won't give you a break on your groceries, either.

Go talk to the Democrats in the Virginia General Assembly. They are the ones who won't give you a break.

That’s like saying “why hasn’t Biden paid off my student loans yet?”

Youngkin has to work with the GA

Why can’t Youngkin work effectively with the GA? He is a moron. Loser governor. Failure.

Biden at least works with Congress to accomplish a lot.

LOL.

What was his actual plan to replace that state revenue? Or was it just another campaign ploy to con the rubes.

Why are you equating the gas tax with the grocery tax?

+1. Removing the gas tax was a stupid idea. I'm open to removing the grocery tax, that sounds like it would help people in need.

The car safety inspection protects me from your lazy maintenance decisions. There are inspection stations everywhere, it's not hard to do.

Three guesses.

The main problem Virginia has is the one term limit. Youngkin just had to get elected. He never had to actually deliver on his false promises.

The grocery tax elimination makes sense compared to the other ideas but probably the democrats don't like the proposals for reducing the state budget. Has it even been proposed?

This. Very few gubernatorial promises are actually delivered in VA. Or anywhere, actually.

He doesn’t have a plan for replacing the revenue, which is why Democrats won’t get on board. They know Youngkin will just use the loss of this tax revenue as an excuse to cut programs that benefit the people who would also benefit the most from grocery tax relief.

It might be better to return to Ohio. If one can't manage an annual inspection of their car, this area may be too overwhelming.

Republicans control the house of delegates, they can easily introduce it.

State income tax used to be 3%. Seems like the extra money can cover a lot of reductions in other taxes.
