FW: CoLA...PATRIOT INFO ALERT..Transportation taxes ...joining us In opposition / Cucinelli! National Review! Eagle Forum!

 The Transportation bill is getting bad press even though NO ONE HAS SEEN THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT.

Estimate = 6.1 Billion in new taxes over 5 years.

 

Naional review

 

The Eagle Forum

 While many states – North Carolina, Louisiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Indiana, Wisconsin, Texas & Florida –are cutting & eliminating taxes, the elected officials in the Commonwealth are planning to place a huge burden on the shoulders of the taxpayers. Deemed the “Road to the Future,” the plan by a Conference Committee of Democrats and Republicans provides only one future for our families – the burden of crippling tax increases. What began as a $2.4 billion tax increase in the Governor’s initial plan has turned into a possible $6.1 billion in new and higher taxes and includes a higher sales tax, higher car tax, an internet tax scheme, and a higher diesel fuel tax. - From Eagle Forum

It's a futile waste of your time!

Hound your Delegate to vote against this monster tax increase!

 

NO NEW TAXES ARE NECESSARY! 

  

To find wasted Billions 

REFORM VDOT, VITA & Medicaid (for starters)

For those who want (rumored) HB2313 conference report details:

 

 

No one has seen the actual conference report document including GA members.

My understanding of contents below ... (info from multiple sources)

FYI...above link....Cuccinelli has come out in opposition to this 'massive new tax increase'

  • The C&I tax is in there. (Loudon BOS is raising Cain about it!)
  • For NOVA and Tidewater the sales tax increase is .8 % . The rest of the state is a .3% increase. The additional is to stay in the local areas for transportation.
  • Removes 17.5 cent gas tax ....Implements 3.5% wholesale 'RACK' tax. (Diesel 6%) Gasoline tax savings 5-7 cents per gallon at current price per gallon
  • Car title tax increased 1%
  • Note: All of the new taxes above are percentages so tied to inflation.
  • Dulles rail funding included
  • Applies a $100 fee to alternative fuel vehicles.
  • Includes money for mass transit
  • Includes money for education

Friday 2/22: House Convenes at 10am; Senate at 11am. (There will be long recesses so conference committees can work).

Thanks

The CoLA Team
