Hello All. My name is Heath Grishaw and I will unable to attend in person it would like to use my privilege as an American citizen to voice my concerns and support on my state that I have been blessed to live in for my whole life. Please consider these points as I am not alone in this and would appreciate to know that I have been represented accurately and fairly despite my lack of support for our new governor. I do hope Abigail hears all citizens in Virginia and represents all including the unborn. HJ1 - 1. I oppose the HJ1 bill as it has broad language that would grant a constitutional right that cannot be easily changed without proper constitutional process. Legislators and voters would be hard pressed to find an ability to protect the voices of the unborn. Meaning commonsense restrictions such as limits on abortion at later gestational stages informed consent, or protection for fetal pain could and would be pre-empted or struck down. 2. Lastly- There are already laws and medical standards in place that protect access to essential health services, including care related to pregnancy complications, miscarriage, and life-saving medical interventions. Opponents argue that this amendment is an unnecessary expansion of state constitutional protections and will strip Virginia of flexibility to respond to future societal needs. HJ14- I do agree and in favor of this amending. 1. Reduces Financial Burden on Virginians Virginia’s annual personal property tax on motor vehicles can cost families hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year, especially given the high assessed values and taxing rates compared to other states. Exempting one personally owned vehicle from this tax will provide meaningful relief for working‐class Virginians, retirees, and middle-income households struggling with everyday expenses. 2. Encourages Financial Stability and Mobility For many Virginians, cars are a necessity—not a luxury—due to the state’s limited public transportation outside major urban areas. Providing a tax exemption for one personally used vehicle will help residents better afford reliable transportation to work, school, and medical appointments without the additional strain of recurring property tax liabilities. 3. Promotes Fairness and Simplicity Currently, personal property tax relief programs vary widely by locality and often require complex qualification rules tied to vehicle value or usage. HJ14 would standardize relief by constitutionally guaranteeing that each resident can own one vehicle for personal, noncommercial use without tax. This simplifies tax planning for families and eliminates inconsistencies across jurisdictions. 4. Strengthens Economic Competitiveness Lowering the overall tax burden makes Virginia a more attractive place to live and work. Reducing or eliminating personal property tax on one vehicle helps retain residents and attract new workers and retirees, supporting local economies and housing markets.

My husband and I are extremely concerned about proposed abortion bills and legislation. We have lived in this state for many years and never dreamed of these bills moving forward and are aghast at the thought of it. We are vehemently opposed to any such passage of abortion and whole heartedly in favor of preserving and protecting all life espeically of the most vulnerable unborn life that all science now admits. Please say "no" to such bills.
