Youngkin tax cuts facing rough ride in Virginia legislature
RICHMOND — Democrats in the state Senate tapped the brakes Wednesday on Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s proposals for $1 billion worth of tax cuts, a day after Republicans in the House of Delegates gave them a vote of approval.
With the package probably headed for horse trading and compromise later in the legislative session, Youngkin (R) tried the hard sell this week — making campaign-style pitches to drum up public support.
On Tuesday, he urged a gathering of small-business owners to contact delegates and senators from both parties about the tax cuts. “Communicate with them — send them emails, call their offices, write them notes,” he said.
“This is our moment, because there’s more [tax money] to go back to you,” Youngkin declared Monday during a rally at the Weinstein Jewish Community Center in Henrico County, where supporters cheered as he bounded onto a stage to the strains of “Takin’ Care of Business.”
