Kaine’s Transportation Plan Is Bad
Tim Kaine’s transportation plan is out and it’s not pretty no matter how you look at it. He proposes imposing an increase in the sales tax in NOVA and Hampton Roads (the same type of increased that was killed by referendum by NOVA voters in 2002), a bump in the tax on car titling and a statewide increase in the grantor’s tax charged when one sells their home. You know, because the housing market is a great place to be looking for money these days.
DJ does a good job dissecting the proposal, as does Brian Kirwin, Va Patriot and LG Bill Bolling.
