Virginia tax cap proposal advances from local activist
Strickler outlines FTV plan to cap state tax growth at six and a half percent of Virginia personal income. The amendment would preserve a balanced budget, require two thirds votes to raise the ceiling in emergencies, and bar local mandates without funding. He compares to Prop 13 and urges action through the General Assembly, adoption, and ballot in November 1980.
