This week, Governor Glenn Youngkin unveiled his proposed "Unleashing Opportunity" budget during a presentation to the General Assembly's Joint Money Committee. The budget proposal modernizes Virginia's tax code and bolsters investments in job growth, workforce development, needed behavioral and mental health support for Virginians, safe communities, good governance measures, and ushers in the largest education budget in Virginia's history. Governor Youngkin also invited and challenged the General Assembly to pass legislation eliminating the car tax once and for all in Virginia.
Americans for Tax Reform praised Governor Youngkin's Unleashing Opportunity Budget, writing that "the governor's admirable budget proposal would allow [Virginians] to keep much more of their hard-earned money on a permanent basis, providing sustained relief for many years to come."
