[Newsbusters.org] After campaigning on "affordability," Virginia state Democrats have introduced a measure to more than double their salaries, now that fellow Democrat Abigail Spanberger is in the Governor's Mansion, giving them control of all three branches of their state's government.

 "Virginia Democrats are now trying to give themselves a PAY RAISE after proposing thousands of dollars in new taxes hammering working families, the Virginia Senate Republican Caucus warned in a X.com post highlighting how the legislators' pay raise would hurt taxpayers:

"They ran on 'affordability,' but all they've done is introduce insane left-wing policies and take from your pocket to line their own. TOTAL CON JOB!"

Indeed, an amendment to the Virginia state budget (SB30), introduced by Democrats L. Louise Lucas in the state Senate and Vivian Edna Watts in the House of Delegates, would more than double their salaries, raising the pay in both chambers by about 150%.

The pay increases of $27,360 for the state delegates and $27,000 for senators comes, is scheduled to kick in "after the next election of the General Assembly." It would increase annual spending by more than $2.1 million.

Meanwhile, Virginia Democrats are furiously introducing a host of bills creating/raising taxes (SB978) on the state's residents, such as the following services:

  • Counseling services
  • Dry cleaning & laundry
  • Home repairs & maintenance
  • Landscaping
  • Cleaning services
  • Vehicle repairs
  • Storage units
  • Shipping services
  • Travel planning
  • Website hosting, data, and storage
  • Digital personal property

Additionally, Gov. Spanberger is reportedly working to institute a "backdoor carbon tax on electricity," under the guise of an "environmental investment."

"Virginia taxpayers just got a costly reminder that elections have consequences," Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) notes in its analysis of the Democrat governor's ploy. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
