Richmond ping.

I knew this was going to happen.

I also heard on WRVA is afternoon that Chichester (I think) is proposing to INCREASE gas taxes!

It will help to kill the automobile industry.

Lord knows the luxury tax went over real well.

"phasing out the sales tax exemption" just sounds so much less like a tax increase than "raise the gas tax by 5%."

The Senate "Republican" leader of the senate once again will make a democrat governor look downright moderate in comparison, like in 2004 when Warner's billion dollar tax increase looked bad until the republican senate leader proposed a 4 billion dollar increase.

Governor Tim Kaine announces his transportation plan this afternoon.

Not even a week into his administration and he's got his hand in our pockets. Seems like someone would have warned the sheeple.

Oh wait! We did!

But I gotta admit, I 'bout peed my pants when I heard he's giving the response to the SOTU.

When his time is up, they'll hold up a sign that says "Stop Forrest! Stop!"

This really should come as no surprise, especially to all of the Republicans who voted for Kaine. This past Gubernatorial election showed the Virginians LOVE higher taxes, and simply can't wait to give their money to the State of Virginia, in one form or another. I hope they enjoy the next 4 years of higher taxes.

As for me, I'm trying to relocate back home to Nevada.

With present company excepted, this has got to be the dumbest state in the union and I can not stand the stupidity of Virginians any longer.

What a mistake it was to move here. I regret the decision every minute of every day!!
