[quote=Anonymous]The issue isn't the grocery tax itself so much as how they will make up for the lost revenue, much of which goes to localities. This is just like Gilmore's attempt to repeal the car tax. The legislation he got passed would have phased it out over five years, but midway through the phase out the legislature froze it because they couldn't cover the shortfall to the general fund. The end result is that we still have a car tax with only limited relief, but Richmond has a whole set of new obligations to transfer funding to localities to make up for the loss of revenue. The grocery tax would be no different unless Youngkin comes up with a proposal for raising other taxes to make up the lost revenue.[/quote]
