HB 424 - Exempt Disabled Veterans From Tolls Can we hurry up an pass this. The VA is in DC. Traffic is a nightmare. Tolls insanely expensive, for veterans on a fixed income. Other states have this, why is rich Virginia so slow to implement this.

Virginia First Cities is supportive of our valued member, the City of Winchester, as they are currently in litigation on the subject tax assessment issue. The Winchester City Council is unequivocally opposed to HB 1970. While respectful of the reputation and the important work that subject company is doing in Virginia, we urge the subcommittee to not preemptively overturn a Virginia Circuit Court ruling and ongoing litigation. There are broad implications for all local governments for granting tax exemptions for non-related operations especially when a court case is active.
