Ten cents
That's the real estate tax rate cut proposed by Norfolk City Manager Regina Williams. Norfolk’s real estate tax rate of $1.27 per $100 of assessed value, among the state’s highest, would fall to $1.17. Hmm. Think the City Manager read what I wrote earlier? I’m expecting that the city manager’s budget will come in with … Continue reading Ten cents
Out from under
I made it through the filing deadline, head down most of the time, so I've got a lot of catching up to do. I took a break from filing extensions last night to catch Mark Warner's speech at the Norfolk Forum. More on that later. I'm heading to the Shad Planking later today. Quickly browsing … Continue reading Out from under
Northam: $170,000!
Ralph Northam, the Democratic candidate for Senate in the 6th district, will be filing his financial reports showing a little over $170,000 raised from about 150 donors. Cash on hand will be a little over $150,000. And he didn't stop there. I understand that fundraising in April continues at a torrid pace. In the meantime, … Continue reading Northam: $170,000!

Play follow the leader, Norfolk
The editorial in today's Virginian Pilot takes on the possible reappearance of the boat tax. Virginia Beach, to pick one example, in 2002 dropped its levy to $.000001 per $100 of value from $1.50. That made the tax on a $10 million boat precisely 10 cents. While that's the kind of tax priority owners can … Continue reading Play follow the leader, Norfolk
Smoking ban
The very first trip I ever took to the General Assembly was to accompany then-Delegate Thelma Drake to a committee hearing where I testified about the need to exercise control over credit card companies. I recall getting out of her car and lighting a cigarette. Upon reaching the doors of the building, I put my … Continue reading Smoking ban
