Damn. Taxing food delivery services. So now our DoorDash gets more expensive as they pass along the costs to us?
Many of these other great ideas floated make VA look more like MD. Hell no.
Does not look like a moderate democrat at all. Looks more progressive. Nothing I see here will encourage business to come here or make us safer in VA.
We have a surplus. My guess is either a mass increase in spending, or anticipation of fewer federal funds.
We have a surplus because Youngkin left us one. I don't expect it to last long now.
Minnesota had a surplus when Walz became Governor but it quickly evaporated. Expect the same to happen with Spanberger in charge of VA.
Should we expect the Trump goons to come terrorize and murder Virginians too?

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.

Can anyone here provide a solid case for why the new legislation is good for the citizens of the state?
+1000 more taxes really?! Come on.
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.
MFers are trying to deflect from the GOP dumpster fire.

Sigh. Not interested in VA becoming CA (or MD).
+1000. Left California because of this. Now considering leaving Virginia
Buh bye!

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 This bill should be withdrawn or amended, or vote NO!

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.”

Entirely predictable. Democrats LOVE to tax and spend other people's money.

exactly zero rich Virginians will move to WVA
DP. You forgot about NC, SC, TX, and Florida. To name just a few states where taxes are lower than VA.
