Virginia Democrats Propose a Raft of New Taxes After Taking State Government Trifecta

The commonwealth’s Democrat-controlled General Assembly opened just 5 days ago and the new Democratic governor was sworn in only Saturday, but there are already more than 50 new proposals to increase taxes on the state’s residents.

Among the taxes proposed by Virginia Democratic legislators is a new personal property tax on electric leaf blowers.
