We have had a very successful 2018 General Assembly Session so far. The majority of our issues have been handled for the year, but we still have a few issues remaining. These include legislation to promote recycling and budget issues.
VRF opposes any industry-specific taxes, particularly those that target the retail sector. The City of Richmond recently proposed and approved a 1.5% increase to the meals tax (the city does not require a referendum as the counties do) as well as a recent consideration to implement a Cigarette Tax.
