This is the dumbest tax plan EVER.
-
Virginia residents who own a car get millions in cuts 💰
-
Virginia residents who are car-free get nothing ❌
Who comes up with this non-sense🤦?
Only 3 states Delaware, Montana, and New Jersey raise enough revenue from cars to fully cover their highway spending. The remaining 47 states must make up the difference with tax revenues from other sources
By diverting general funds to roadway spending, the burden of paying for the roads falls on all taxpayers, including people who drive very little or may not drive at all.

Does she mean registration?
No, in Virginia there's an annual property tax on cars
I hope she means personal property tax because that's far more expensive than the registration. I actually don't mind paying the registration because the place I live actually uses it back in the community. Matter of fact during COVID the DMV was really relaxed with missed deadlines and the county even gave us a rebate when they over collected. This bitch is crazy and I really hope this petty little promise of a handout backfires on her.
