Democrats Blast Coleman Over Tax Veto Pledge
Richmond AP Democrats blasted Marshall Coleman for pledging to veto taxes enacted by Virginia's General Assembly if elected governor. Senate leader Hunter Andrews said the pledge is irresponsible and untenable, while Republican Sen. Ray Garland defended Coleman, citing user fees and state federal relations. Andrews warned of potential loss of federal funds and said Coleman has since softened the tax veto pledge, aligning with calls to avoid harming vulnerable groups.
