Flawed Logic from Jody in Wonderland

If this doesn’t take the cake, I don’t know what will. Jody Wagner criticized Bob McDonnell and Bill Bolling’s transportation plan without providing an alternative. Wagner also criticized Bolling for not supporting Governor Tim Kaine’s plan, which would have raised taxes over the course of six years.

Obviously, Wagner loves a plan with more taxes, especially since this might be the primary basis of her plan. When Wagner was Secretary of Finance, she supported EVERY one of Kaine’s tax hike, including the following:

2006: Titling Tax – 2% increase in Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax, increase by 2.25% auto insurance premium fee, weight based registration fee (failed)

2007: Increase in Vehicle Registration fee by $20 ($15 now, and an additional $5 in 2010) and increase in the car sales tax by 2% (failed)

2008: 1% increase on titling tax, $10 increase on car registration, 1% increase in Sales Tax (NOVA and Hampton Roads), 25 cent increase in Grantor Tax (failed)

So, why would we want someone who would raise our taxes (especially since Washington will be doing plenty of that for us over the next four years)?
