Thirteen tax hikes in a day?!
By JR Hoeft | Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 | PoliticsI’ve been busy getting caught up on things the last couple of days when I came across this rather enlightening post by D.J. McGuire.
I hadn’t realized that Sen. Creigh Deeds, on June 24, 2008, managed to find 13 new taxes palatable enough to impose on the people of the commonwealth.
Two of the bills never made it to the floor in time for debate and another died in the House.
That’s gotta be a record. Thirteen new taxes in one day?!
