Byrd Blast Delves Into Revenue Sharing Plan
Virginia lawmakers pressed Senator Byrd in Washington urging support for the revenue-sharing bill. Byrd challenged the plan on federal deficits and the misalignment of sharing funds with states duties, warning the measure could cede taxing and spending control to the federal level while concentration of gains favors a few large states. Virginia’s past federal aid growth was cited to illustrate the skewed distribution under the bill.

He argues the regime was bloodless at times and not unique, noting political prisoners declined and torture was not extraordinary for the era. Holden depicts an authoritarian regime less brutal than some peers, amid a bankrupt opposition.
