Northam Outgoing Budget to eliminate Grocery Tax

December 19, 2021 by Wayne Creed 1 Comment

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC)- Governor Ralph Northam wants to give money back to taxpayers and cut down grocery bills. The proposals are main components of a broader tax relief package being included in Northam’s outgoing two-year budget.

The plan shows that Northam, a Democrat, and Republican Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin share some common goals when it comes to tax policy. Northam said his proposals are more targeted towards working families as Youngkin argues Virginians deserve more comprehensive relief.

@GovernorVA announces his two-year budget plan will include a proposal to eliminate the 1.5 percent grocery tax. He says this will impact state revenue, not local revenue. Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin also campaigned on this @8NEWS pic.twitter.com/wykfMUWQes

    How about starting with eliminating personal property tax . Its a back door tax . Why should you pay to purchase , register, and then own ?? Really. Also , why do you pay property tax and a personal property tax for owning property ? Isnt that what property tax is ? I was told that it covers local police etc . I said , you don’t have a local police dept you use the county and state . Business are also hit with this ridicules tax for equipment and tools .
