Yesterday, Governor Youngkin’s proposal to suspend the gas tax for 3 months was defeated in a Senate Committee controlled by Democrats. Had it passed, gas prices would have dropped 26 cents per gallon.
The Democrat controlled Senate also voted down a proposed amendment by the Governor that would have required a School Board election in Loudoun County this year after their bungling of two sexual assaults occurring in two Loudoun County high schools last year.
