Howell and Miller clash over taxes in Virginia governor race
Democratic candidate Henry Howell claims he has a no tax increase pledge and would raise nearly 92 million dollars by closing tax loopholes. Andrew Miller counters with calls for unity and a focus on human rights as ministers back his campaign. A separate Virginia High School League suit argues private schools are barred from state competitions and a state debt collection unit faces oversight questions amid rising energy costs and rate inequities.
