This is the first time I have submitted a comment. Virginians have many needs, and it costs money to address them. Federal cuts make it harder for Virginia to provide healthcare, address emergencies, protect our planet, educate our kids, and enable our residents to safely and (reasonably) quickly travel to work, family, and social activities I urge the Assembly to pass progressive and equitable tax reforms that close loopholes and ensure the wealthy pay their fair share of programs that benefit us all. Right now the top 1% pay the least in taxes as a percentage of their income. This is obviously unfair! I am not thrilled to pay taxes, but I am willing to help fund services for all and a bit more for the needy. I am not OK with providing more to the wealthiest. I urge the General Assembly to pass HB 243, HB 378, HB 978, and HB 979 as critical tax reforms that help ensure the wealthy pay their fair share and will fund vital government programs that support all Virginians.

HB 1135, HB 1351, HB 188, HB 243, HB 334, HB 341, HB 378, hb 550, HB 557, HB 563, HB 720, HB 784, HB 897, HB 919, HB 946, HB 959, HB 961, HB 978, SB 400, SB 763. I oppose all of these bills.

I strongly support a more progressive and fair tax system. As the Federal government guts services, Virginia needs new sources of revenue if we want to maintain our school lunch programs, rural hospitals, green infrastructure investment, and effective emergency response programs. Currently our taxes cap out at $17,000, putting the burden on those who can least afford to pay. I urge you to invest in Virginia, and pass the Fair Share Tax reforms.

OPPOSED to these bills!!!

Federal cuts endanger Virginia emergency preparedness, green energy support, healthcare access, education, and transportation infrastructure.

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.
