Amazing what happens when Virginia has a Governor [1] who doesn’t demand tax increases every year:
Virginia Ranked Sixth in the Nation for Lowest Tax Burden on New Investments
The study was conducted by the Council on State Taxation. They measured capital investment (VA was 6th best) and job creation (VA was 10th best).
I would note that, while the exact formula was not specified, it looks like the Commonwealth would have fallen out of the top ten in both categories had the income tax increase demanded by the missing-seven-billion-dollar man had been enacted.
I’m just sayin’.
