Gas Tax Hike Opposed by Virginia Retailers Group
Virginia Beach AP report notes James W. Heizer of the 1300 member Virginia Gasoline Retailers Association calls a proposed rise in the state gas tax from 9 to 11 cents a gallon shameful. State officials cite inflation and lower consumption as a factor in a $3 billion highway debt. In the same Virginia Beach dispatch, former Norfolk policeman Larry Hendey denies responsibility in the murder-for-hire case of 16-year-old Delores Snyder, testifying he did not hire killers and that a friend acted out of loyalty to him.
