Comments
What about the rest of the disabled veterans? Virginia is one of the least veteran friendly states. Twenty three other states do not charge veterans any state income tax whatsoever. Virginia is in the the small minority of 10 states that tax veteran's income. Politicians please stop calling this the most military & veteran friendly state...its not.
Let’s get some support for all disabled veterans. Making a distinction between 100% disabled and all other disabled veterans is short sighted. Property taxes should correlate to the disability rating. For example 50% disability rating means 50% of property taxes are forgiven. Doing the right thing should not take much effort. Who deserves support more than those veterans that gave so much?
