Nobody likes taxes, but most people desire good roads, quality schools and first rate fire, rescue and police departments. Those things and many others depend on the resources of LOCAL government. Senator Cuccinelli knows that the primary source of LOCAL government financial capability is the property tax and LOCAL governing bodies can raise and lower those according to the need and the desire of the community. What he wants to do is remove a chunk of that capacity, but it, of course, is a win-win for him - get "points" from voters, but not face the train wreck he will leave for counties and cities in Virginia. Of course, Cooch is already considered the King of Unfunded Mandates in Richmond. If Senator Cuccinelli wants to cut something - he can start by cutting the state income tax - some states don't even have one. Opps, he would have to deal with the consequences of his actions - know he hates that. Yes,devious politics are in play - by Senator Cuccinelli and
