Virginia gas tax increase stalls in House
Virginia lawmakers recessed a two day special session on Kaine’s transportation plan and will reconvene July 9. The Senate approved a 6 cent per gallon gas tax hike to be phased in by 2014 in exchange for repealing a 1986 half cent grocery tax. House doubts loom as Speaker early signals caution, while 30 percent of the burden would fall on commercial vehicles and out of state travelers. Senator Saslaw’s proposal faces an uncertain House future.

Bluefield neighborhood along Shenandoah Avenue urged city leaders and the police to install slow children playing and hidden driveway signs. Signs were erected midweek after about a month of effort. Resident Al Hancock cited speeding endangering children from nearby Fairview Park and risking property damage, and said further signs could follow if they prove ineffective.
