I am sure more than 20 people have complaints and reasoned arguments related to county spending. People work at 7am,people have children to prepare dinner for,people are night blind. Zoom is easy to use and extends access to an evening meeting to more people.
The Supervisors say that it isn't a tax increase because it was caused by a assessment increase not a rate increase. Virginia law is clear that when assessments rise over 1%, the rate reverts to a rate that brings in 101% of the previous year's revenue. The Supervisors can then raise it, which is called in the law an effective tax increase. Can't be more clear than that.
