Abjectly opposed to ANY new taxes for ANY reason. We have an overabundance of money in this state as it is and are taxed enough.

We need a more equitable tax code that addresses loopholes and ensures the wealth pay their fair share. Too many corporations underpay their workers and force them to rely on public services to make ends meet. I strongly support HB-243 that ensures that corporations pay all the externality costs associated with their predatory exploitation of low-wage workers.

As a Virginia resident and voter, I am writing to let you know that I strongly oppose HB243, HB 978, HB188, and HB 979. Virginians are already burdened with high taxes and high cost of living. These bills will only further punish those paying taxes in this state and will likely drive taxpayers, including those with very high incomes, to other states with lower tax burdens. Please reconsider. The prior administration left the state with a surplus. Increased taxes should not be needed to meet the needs of the state.

This bill seems to only be put into place to stop poor people from exercising their rights, this is very concerning especially since suppressors are used for hearing protection.
