Farm Bureau Chief Backs One Cent Sales Tax Increase
Virginia Farm Bureau President Robert B. Delano urged a one cent hike in the Virginia sales tax from four to five cents at the 50th annual meeting in Norfolk. He argued extra revenue could fund counties and cities and relieve state treasury pressure, citing a potential $220 to $240 million gain over two years amid a fiscal crisis. Delano warned against bonds and warned of local indebtedness, while stressing needs in veterinary education and animal industry facilities, income and marketing concerns, and productivity gains to curb inflation. He noted 37,720 members, nine affiliated corporations, and insurance stability since 1968 for drivers with clean records.
