Virginia’s New Democrat Led Government….

[LuFins Dad]

So… Here are the proposed ADDITIONAL taxes that the legislature has proposed:

Additional local sales tax in all Virginia counties and cities
New personal property tax on electric leaf blowers and electric landscaping equipment
Large employer tax
Gun and ammunition tax
New income tax brackets
Delivery tax, which would hit Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, and UPS orders in Northern Virginia
Investment income tax
Event tax
Storage facility tax
Gym membership tax
Dog walking tax
Dog grooming tax
Counseling tax
Digital personal property tax
New car taxes and highway use fees
Increase in the hotel tax in Arlington
Statewide speed cameras (not a tax, but more fines for drivers)
Vehicle repair tax
Home repair tax
Dry cleaning tax

By the way, VA has been running a budget surplus over the last 4 years…

They probably see reduced federal support for Medicaid and education so they proactively find new revenues to make up for it.
