CoLA Priority Update * * * * * * * * * * Federation CoLA...HELLO VIRGINIA...You are about to get slammed ! The Governor's sales tax hike has passed the House - YOU will pay the 2 Billion that HB2313 will raise for transportation over the next five years. BTW...that 2 Billion includes a few things like Dulles rail (which "We The People" don't want), mass transit projects (that "We The People" don't want), tolls are still an option and you will pay another $15 on your annual car registrations. That's just for starters.... As soon as Congress passes the Internet tax, our Governor is counting on a billion dollars from that Federal kitty. Really? What if that never shows up? BTW....still NO LOCK BOX for transportation funds. WE HAVE A SPENDING PROBLEM, NOT A REVENUE PROBLEM! - Call your Senator and ask him to oppose HB2313.
- Call the Governor and tell him NO NEW TAXES! PERIOD! 804-786-2211
OMAMACARE COMES TO VIRGINIA The Senate has passed the Medicaid expansion - YOUR taxes will have to go up in 5 years to pay for the 400,000 estimated new Medicaid patients after the Federal money runs out! The amendment to SB800 is attached! - Call your Delegate and tell him to vote NO on SB800 if it includes the Medicaid expansion.
- Call the Governor at 804-786-2211. Ask him not to sign SB800 if it includes the medicaid expansion.
- These Senators have already voted NO to this atrocity. Please call and thank them. Senators Garrett, Martin, Obenshain and Smith
DEQ is going to be taking over DCR. Both houses have passed a substitute bill (HB2048 & SB1279). Now there will be a conference committee followed by an up or down vote in each house. The only question is: Will it be the 93 page monster or the 59 page one? Local BOS members are already being warned that there are going to be a lot of changes. "SO GET READY"! This merger removes the checks and balances that protect land owners and stormwater will be defined as Nonpoint Source pollution. From the Senate substitute Feb. 7th. line 3053 "Nonpoint Source pollution" means pollution such as sediment, nitrogen, phosphorus, hydrocarbons, 3054 heavy metals, and toxics whose sources cannot be pinpointed but rather are washed from the land 3055 surface in a diffuse manner by stormwater runoff. 3069 "Stormwater" means precipitation that is discharged across the land surface or through conveyances 3070 to one or more waterways and that may include storm water runoff, snow melt runoff, and surface 3071 runoff and drainage. 3072 "Stormwater management plan" means a document containing material describing methods for 3073 complying with the requirements of a VSMP - CALL your Delegate, Senator and the Governor. 804-786-2211 . Neither version of this legislation is acceptable. Let them know you are adamantly opposed to this transfer of power.
MONEY IS STILL BEING HANDED OUT TO SPECIAL INTERESTS......over 100 new giveaways were introduced. While they have one hand in your pocket for more tax money, the other hand is giving away more tax credits and tax breaks. What about the 1.3 Billion in surpluses over the last 3yrs? Were did that go? It obviously needs to go to transportation. WE HAVE A SPENDING PROBLEM! THE BUDGET STILL GROWS YEAR AFTER YEAR! When is the last time these guys were in a grocery store? Don't they read the paper? Didn't they hear about the Federal tax hikes in January? Surely they know what is headed our way through 0care? These guys need to get on a bus! Our Governor and most Republican General Assembly members ought to be ashamed to call to call themselves Republicans! So much for a Republican majority...... HAD ENOUGH? ARE YOU MAD YET? IF YOU WANT TO STOP THESE NEW TAXES and the DEQ takeover of DCR...you must turn up the heat and make these 3 calls. Please forward this alert to everyone you know! Let them get there on Monday morning to hundreds of voicemails and emails from us. Sign up for Federation CoLA Alerts direct to you: Back to "In This Issue" |
