VA Supreme Court: New Taxes Unconstitutional

The Virginia Supreme Court today declared that it is unconstitutional for a non-elected body (the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority) to levy taxes in the state. This is an embarrassing blow to Democrat Governor Tim Kaine, who supported the taxes.

The bad news is that the taxes were already levied last year. I knew I should have deducted the extra $10 fee for my vehicle registration last month! I will be asking for my refund on this year's tax return...
