This would increase gas taxes in order to pay for unfair corporate welfare handouts for favored industries. It's not responsible public policy, and the citizens of Virginia should not be forced to pay for corporate welfare, especially as our economy struggles to recover after Covid-19.	-

Why use the poor object of taxation to gather more for the government coffers? Why not just raise the sale tax? Please stop meddling with additional tax. Tax one thing and tax it well enough to cover your budget. This is a ridiculous idea which only results in a regressive tax on local people purchasing anything requiring local transportation. It is a regressive tax. And it is stupid.	-
