Democrats double-tax Hampton Roads

Sen. John Miller, Sen. Ralph Northam, Sen. Yvonne Miller, Sen. Louise Lucas.

These Democrats think fuel prices are so low that we in Hampton Roads should pay, not one, but TWO tax increases on gas!

SB 6009 [1], which the Senate Democrats happily approved yesterday, raises taxes on gasoline statewide every year for the next six years (and statewide sales tax increase), and on top of that, slaps Hampton Roads drivers with a 1 % gas tax increase on top of that (and the 1% regional sales tax we voted down by referendum).

[2]Somehow, “Double gas tax increases” didn’t quite make it into Democratic campaign mailpieces last year.
