Tax Increase on Tobacco Is Snuffed Out
January 21, 2012
RICHMOND – Smokers can breathe – or wheeze – a sigh of relief after legislation to raise the state tax on tobacco products died in a House subcommittee on Friday.
Comments
Theft is a misdemeanor, unless the thief uses an emergency exit, and then it's a felony? If it turns out that the guy was parked in a loading zone, is it a capital crime?
What planet does Dave Albo represent, again?
What is this for? Isn't it just a way to stealthily increase penalties for criminals who aren't dumb enough to walk out the front door.
Does any one know the story behind this bill?
Oppose. Idiotic.
have to admit this doesn't make much sense.
