It’s a bad time to raise sales tax

What a good idea to raise the sales tax in Albemarle County for a transit plan. In a recession, raise taxes. And since few people can afford the new taxes, let’s raise taxes again.

How about cutting spending and holding off on the grand projects until the economy can afford it?

I realize that governments think citizens are a source of infinite cash to fund their pet projects. They are not.
