Byrd Plan Would Shift Road Costs to State
Virginia counties mostly gain tax relief under former Governor Byrd's proposal to have the state take over county roads. Comptroller Combs lists 97 counties saving 3.38 million, with Bath Nottoway and Wise as the only counties not benefiting due to no road levy. State Tax Commissioner Morrissett supports the plan, while lawmakers in both General Assembly chambers discuss bills and hearings. Governor Pollard seeks data from the highway department to inform consideration. West challenges Byrd’s plan, prompting official responses.
