Competing tax plans.

Tim Kaine’s property tax proposal sucks.

Jerry Kilgore’s tax proposal sucks even more.

Democrat Rich Collins’ proposal (a proposal shamelessly stolen by Virginia Republicans yesterday) rocks. I get a kick out of Republicans championing the elimination of the growth tax. Developers and real estate agents — darlings of the Republican Party — are going to revolt over the proposal, no doubt withholding bajillions in contributions. Republicans are now on Democrats’ side, pushing for letting localities limit sprawl and growth. I love it.

  1. Shamelessly stolen? Hardly.
    The proposal comes from the VOTORs
    …which has been pushing it
    far longer than Mr. Collins has been
    an office seeker.

    We’re glad he’s decided to join us.

  2. I know, I know.
    But gee, at least the dog pays attention to me.
    When it’s his dinner time.
