Richmond officials told a State tax study commission that Virginia’s tax system creates inequities in local aid and school funding. Mayor W Stirling King criticized per capita grants and unfair salary scales while Alan Donnahoe of the chamber highlighted high corporate and individual tax rates and low farm real estate taxes.
