Virginia House GOP Passes Tax Relief Plan; Democrats Oppose It

Two Republican-backed Virginia House bills to prevent an inadvertent $1.2 billion tax increase passed the House of Delegates Tuesday, a move proponents say will help middle-class Virginians. The legislation would also conform the state tax code to the federal tax code.

The measures failed to pass Monday with an added emergency clause, which would have sped up the effective date. Although 12 Democrats voted with Republicans to pass the emergency clause Monday, the House Democratic minority was unified against Tuesday's legislation.

"Since we rolled out our tax relief plan last month, Republicans in the House of Delegates have been unified in our efforts to use increased revenues from the federal tax law changes to provide tax relief to middle-class taxpayers," Speaker Kirk Cox, R-Colonial Heights, said in a news release. "Our plan guarantees that all money from the federal tax law changes are put in a lockbox and returned to taxpayers. I appreciate Chairman [Lee] Ware, Chairman [Tim] Hugo, and Chairman [Chris] Jones for their leadership on this important issue."

You're probably right, Trump was a guarantee when he announced his candidacy. You usually know those things immediately.

Wait what? I thought you said he wouldn’t make to the end of his term.

Which is it?

As John Kerry would say, they all lack gravitas.

Among a lot of other things.

Better call Beto...

And a tiny little car so they can make it a real clown show.

Except allegedly forcing your penis into someone’s mouth is a tad worse than playing dress up.

You have to humor libs when they get this way ... they've got an agenda to defend. Now, if Tyson was a transgender of the 23 sex, blackface would be insignificant. If Fairfax was white and GOP, there'd be rioting in the streets.

I’m thinking signing onto AOC’s New Green Deal will be a deal breaker for reasonable people.

After the last few elections, the real question is whether we have enough reasonable people. I automatically count the newer generations as primarily libs, and the older generations are shrinking daily.

If she enters then pick her. If not, you have to pick one of the other "17".

Ideally in three months no one will remember that waste of everyone's time.

I'm referencing 2015. You're complicating 72's defense.

 

[Boca Vol]

Are we just to believe these women who came forward 15-20 years after the alleged acts occurred?

These women should be able to ruin this man’s career on only their word?

FYI, Fairfax has said he’s not resigning. But it looks like the Democrats have decided they would prefer to sacrifice Fairfax instead of the blackface/kkk guys.

Were you asleep during the Kavanaugh debacle?

How about a skateboard?

 

[DC_Vol]

Were you asleep during the Kavanaugh debacle?

I was not. I thought the same the same with him as I do with Fairfax.

We cannot devolve into a society to allows charges to be leveled and put the burden of proving innocence on the accused.

Virginia Democrats back off plans to impeach lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax after TWO women accuse him of Rape

A Virginia lawmaker on Monday backed off his plans to swiftly introduce an impeachment bill seeking the ouster of the state's leading black elected official as Democrats struggled to address revelations of past racist behavior and allegations of sexual assault roiling its highest levels of office.

The effort to impeach Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax was prompted by the emergence of two women who accused him of rape in the 2000s. Fairfax has vehemently denied the claims and called for authorities, including the FBI, to investigate.

A second woman, Meredith Watson, came forward on Friday to accuse Fairfax of raping her while they were students at Duke University in 2000, according to a statement issued by her attorney

I agree with you but I think that horse is out of the barn.

We’re going to see the Democrats exposed as frauds “for women”.

Will they care more about women or te line of succession? I’m guessing the latter.

Dems just need to apologize 6 times for each sin and move on... I've never seen so many apologies in 2 weeks.

As long as you didn’t try to beat women like he did you should be good

Not at all...I think Northam is adding this to his reparations.

Please! If he claims to be a Dem...or an NFL player all is forgiven.
