Virginia Democrats are rolling out more than 50 new tax proposals, targeting services ranging from dog walking and dry cleaning to gym memberships, gun purchases and home repairs, despite campaigning on affordability. The package also includes new income tax brackets, added local sales taxes, and fees on deliveries from companies like Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx and UPS in northern Virginia. Republicans say the moves will raise costs on working families, while Gov Abigail Spanberger has already signaled support for higher utility bills by rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Critics warn the plan puts Virginia out of step with neighboring states that are cutting taxes, not adding new ones.

He has been an Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, the Carolinas, and more. He’s even been involved in RF engineering and IT, specializing in configuration of digital automation remote voice tracking systems at one point in his career. Ed was one of 12 people nationwide who were chosen by Google to spend time at their California headquarters to participate in the design and launch of their digital automation after it was acquired from Scott Studios. Although Ed’s background for about 40 years was strongly anchored in music radio, he says the switch to news and information was a natural. Ed has been involved in “spoken word” radio since 2012.
