Governor Bob McDonnell: Honor Your Pledge Not To Raise Taxes

I need your support to stop the toll tax on Portsmouth and Norfolk tunnels.

Dear Virginian:

Governor Bob McDonnell pledged that he would not increase taxes as part of his two-year budget plan close the budget shortfall in Virginia. However, he is now focusing on imposing a toll tax on Portsmouth and Norfolk tunnels; requiring the residents of the smallest and most economically challenged city in the region to carry the financial burden.

According to the proposal, many residents could be paying a monthly fee of 120 dollars, which many residents just cannot afford. Roadways throughout the state of Virginia are constantly under construction, so why are the residents of Portsmouth and Norfolk City being unfairly targeted by this toll tax.

Governor McDonnell, do not allow your constituents to suffer by imposing more taxes, while the road infrastructure deteriorate, schools close and rezone, and vital socioeconomic resources are being limited and cut throughout the state of Virginia.

We, the undersigned, find these proposed taxes unacceptable and unfair.

Will you sign the petition and continue to support the State and local cities on issues that affect all Virginians? Click here to add your name and pass it on to family and friends:
