Some voters in Virginia approved of increasing their local sales tax to finance school construction. But... most jurisdictions rejected the ballot initiative.

Albemarle County Proposed Sales Tax Hike Is Yet Another Bloated Bureaucratic Blunder

One key provision to watch as Albemarle County residents head to the polls this Tuesday is the proposed sales tax hike. The county wants to increase the sales tax by one percentage point, pushing the total sales tax rate, combining both local and state, to 6.3%. While an increase from the current 5.3% combined sales tax to 6.3% may seem futile to many administrators in Albemarle, it represents yet another opportunity for a failing bureaucracy to justify taking more of the constituency’s money to bail them out of bad policymaking.

Driving the news: A series of developments last week — from heated public meetings to newly disclosed plans and proposed zoning changes — fueled the growing tensions. The latest: Google's interest in Goochland's West Creek Business Park became public last week after the company and county agreed to lift an NDA dating to January 2024.
