A Reminder of Mark Warner's 2001 "No Tax Pledge" "The voters of Virginia know all too well as evidenced by the 2001 gubernatorial debates, where Mark Warner repeatedly pledged to the working families of Virginia that he would not raise taxes, that he broke that promise upon taking office and instead gave Virginians a $1.4 billion tax increase, the largest in Virginia history, despite there being a significant budget surplus of $324 million."

Did he "work harder than he'd ever worked in his life" before deciding the state couldn't get by without raising taxes?

His first tax increase proposal came when he'd only been in office for 40 days.

He’s not running on qualifications - he’s running on his last name for the Warner seat from Virginia.

Only the people who might move here from other states and who don't know anything about Virginia might think that's still an issue.
