On Tax Reform: We need income tax for programs and AAA bond rating

Ed Gillespie's tax plan is typical of a DC-insider and proves definitively that he doesn't know anything about state government or our obligations to Virginia families & businesses. This so-called tax plan is really a lazy political stunt.

Gillespie's idea to take 40% of the projected growth in revenue and set it aside for an income tax cut ignores the fact that we are required to deal with federally-mandated Medicaid payments; we have to reduce the cost of college tuition; and we have untold billions of dollars in mandated water quality improvements that must be completed.
