Senate Wine Tax Bill Passes Virginia Senate
The Virginia Senate approved a bill imposing a 50 cent per gallon levy on light wines, projected to raise about 1.5 million dollars. Two thirds of revenue would go to localities and one third to the state, with debates over earmarking funds for schools and teacher bonuses. Protests came from ministers and temperance groups, while supporters argued it would restore funds cut from ABC revenues. The measure was part of broader tax and education funding discussions, with a companion 35 cent levy on wine set to follow.
