  • Gonna be a tough four years in the Commonwealth. The Dems had prospective legislation already in a 3-point stance, and here it comes.

    Example: HB978. The summary alone is a novel, but the highlight reel is simply a tax on basic existence. The bill “levies the retail sales and use tax on the following services: admissions; charges for recreation, fitness, or sports facilities; non-medical personal services or counseling; dry cleaning and laundry services; companion animal care; residential home repair or maintenance, landscaping, or cleaning services when paid for directly by a resident or homeowner; vehicle and engine repair; repairs or alterations to tangible personal property; storage of tangible personal property; delivery or shipping services; travel, event, and aesthetic planning services; and digital services.”

    That’s right: Dog walking, dry cleaning and getting your car fixed are now luxury items worthy of taxation in Virginia.

  • You guys are behind in VA. ...Welcome to NJ South.

    We've had sales tax on those goods & service for many years.

    Now that you'll have those taxes, they will never be repealed - just increased over time.
