No to HB2466. Citizens should not pay higher taxes due to the poor planning and prioritization of regional entities. We should not have to pay for the disruptive effects of the expansion of the Port of Virginia. If regional and local decision makers are not willing to change the way they do business and only continue to exacerbate the problems they created, there is no justification to further burden taxpayers.

support HB 2466

Oppose. The city of Newport News does not support this bill in large part because we cannot recommend a tax increase at a time when many families are struggling to make ends meet.

We are in support of this bill as any efforts to reduce the impacts of flooding and climate change are greatly needed in the Hampton Roads region.
