Tax Breaks for Older Homes: A Bipartisan Solution

Rising home values in cities like Richmond are pushing longtime residents out of their neighborhoods. A suburban Republican delegate, John McNamara, is proposing a tax break for older homes, inspired by a former Democrats idea. The proposal would cap property tax assessments on homes built before 1980, 1985, 1990, and 2000, keeping taxes low even as market values rise. This targets aging houses in urban areas where reassessments are most severe. Residents worry about selling or struggling to pay, especially fixed-income families. The idea, first proposed by Delegate Betsy Carr, is now gaining bipartisan interest and could be part of broader efforts to boost housing supply. McNamara hopes it will pass soon, arguing it protects communities without significantly impacting city revenue. Checkout Solipillow.com

Woman Fights DMV for $1968 Refund

Maiga Dorvals Two-Year Battle for a Refund: A Cautionary TaleMaiga Dorval, a Virginia resident, faced a two-year struggle to reclaim $1,968 in sales tax she shouldnt have paid. The ordeal began when she tried to register her leased car, only to be told she needed proof of tax paid in her previous state. Despite uncertainty, she handed over nearly two thousand dollars. Virginia rules, however, exempt vehicles leased or owned in the same name for over twelve months from that tax, with no proof required if the title or registration is shown.Dorval applied for her refund the next day, but months passed with no response. The DMV demanded written permission from her leasing company, which she provided, yet still no action was taken. Feeling dismissed and bounced between departments, she sought help from CBS six investigators. After the reporter contacted the DMV, they processed her refund, and a check arrived four weeks later.Dorvals experience highlights the need for improved training and policies at the DMV to prevent others from facing similar challenges.

Virginia's Foster Care Crisis: Kids at Risk

Virginias Child Welfare System Faces Criticism: Governor Youngkin Pushes for TransformationVirginias child welfare system is under fire, with a report revealing significant issues in handling neglect cases. Governor Glenn Youngkin is now advocating for a complete overhaul of foster care. Last year, the state investigated over twenty thousand neglect reports, but inconsistent monitoring across counties left many children at risk.The system has been criticized for poor tracking of foster kids, with no clear count of those truly at risk. Tragically, at least four children have died from neglect or related issues recently, including cases tied to inadequate follow-ups. Families and advocates are outraged, sharing stories like that of three-year-old Neely, who suffered fatal neglect despite prior reports.Officials admit the workload is overwhelming, with caseworkers juggling too many files without enough support. New findings reveal over sixty-two thousand kids were involved in investigations last year, but follow-up visits dropped in key spots. Youngkin is calling for better data tracking and more staff statewide. Local leaders are also pushing for urgent funding to fix the breakdowns.Reform groups argue that real change means hiring hundreds more workers and standardizing rules everywhere. The governors plan could be implemented soon, but advocates warn that it must move quickly to save lives before more tragedies occur. Checkout Solipillow.com

Peter Francisco: Virginia's Giant & Revolutionary Hero

The House also features lesser-known portraits, like First Lady Elizabeth Swanson, who oversaw major decorations with an $8,000 budget. Thomas Jeffersons original plaster model of the Capitol, still intact after two centuries, is another notable piece.
