Virginia Democrats agreed to a deal raising gas taxes in the state by a total of 10 cents over the next two years, a move party leadership said would give people "more time with their families."

"This is a historic agreement that will give Virginians more time with their families and less [time] stuck in traffic," Virginia House of Delegates speaker Eileen Filler-Corn (D.) said.

It's for the children!
In Richmond it will be 15 cents a gallon.
Dems always hurt the poor the most.
You’ll get to spend more time with your family,because you can’t shop for food.
Nice of them to provide a shining example of what happens when Dems take over. And just in time for the presidential election!
Please clap
Hopefully, in the coming elections, Virginians can repay these politicians by giving them more time to spend with their families.
Huh? More time with their families with look less money in pocket.
Since Virginny is a commonwealth, how does that flimsy excuse relate to people without families to spend time with.
How about reining in spending by exercising some fiscal responsibility and restraint!
How can you be so cynical - Socialists hardly ever starve their people....
I thought this was a Babylon Bee headline. So, they are going to tax you enough to make you stay with your kids???
Virginia Dems really seem determined to catch up with NJ’s death spiral...
We’re raising taxes on the people least able to pay it, and clapping about it. - virtually every single Dem press conference.
And you just know in the back of their mind, they’re cursing Trump, because this plan would have been 40 cents a gallon on $5 gas if Hillary had been in office and shut down US oil production and gotten us into that long war in Syria.
Idiot lives in an urban bubble. It's all about me. Never mind that 90% of the state is pretty much traffic free. But then again, that's just the excuse. The reason they are raising gas taxes is because they can.
Or maybe they could take up art, you know, make some paintings or something.
“Harrumph, harrumph, harrumph...”
“Hey — I didn’t get a harrumph outta that guy!”
Ohio republicans increase fuel taxes (4/2/19)
Diesel increased 19 cents to 47 cents (38 to 47)
Gas increased 10.5 cents to 38.5 cents (28 to 38.5)
Unemployment will do that, sweetie.
What a bizarre excuse for raising taxes: make driving unaffordable, force families to stay home.
I hope VA citizens throw these Dem bums out next time they get a chance
If this crap with Virginia keeps going, we down in North Carolina are going to have to petition President Trump to build a wall...
Check out VA’s budget. They’ve got the usual problem: Education, Medicaid, public pensions. The gas tax increase is just for starters.
Agree, The 600 calorie that NK gives their citizens is just a way to stave off anyone being fat and getting diabetes and heart trouble.
