Tax Reform in Virginia?

The Free Lance-Star today reported on the prospects of tax reform in the Commonwealth:

With a combination of hysterical press releases and reasoned arguments, Republicans are trying to push Gov. Mark Warner into making public his plan to overhaul the state’s tax system.

But Warner is hedging, fearing that Republicans want him to crawl out on the limb of tax reform by himself and then saw it off behind him.

*hides saw and whistles*

If this tax reform even remotely looks as if it will increase the tax burden of Virginia residents and businesses, then expect to get shaken. If you can reform the tax code without raising taxes – or heaven forbid actually lower taxes – then go for it Mark.
