IN THE NEWS:
Governor Youngkin's legacy budget proposal is out, and to kick off the year, Michael and Lauren break down some of the biggest takeaways.
Youngkin is proposing cutting the top income tax bracket from 5.75% to 5.1%, giving a huge tax cut to the wealthiest Virginians -- especially the top one percent.
He's also proposing a "tech tax" capturing a sales tax on a new category of "digital personal property" -- including your download of Microsoft Word or your subscription to Spotify.
What the budget proposal does NOT include: any tricks to defund abortion. Advocates for reproductive freedom say they're pleased, but some are are worried the proposal removes funding for services to low-income Virginians who receive dangerous fetal diagnoses.
TRIVIA: Which Virginia Congressman did President Wilson appoint as Secretary of the Treasury?
At the Watercooler:
- Despite violent crime sitting at an all-time low--but some Republican ads from the last cycle contained racialized anti-crime messages straight out of the Willie Horton era, especially targeting Black candidates.
- Some political "odd-couples" in the new General Assembly--some combinations of committee chairs that might make for an interesting legislative session.
