Taxpayer Protest at Old Chesterfield Courthouse on Wednesday August 28th at 6PM..

Bring your signs and your pitchforks to the Old Chesterfield Courthouse to protest the proposed Meals Tax....

Located at 10011 Iron Bridge Road on the Courthouse green, the old courthouse sits where the first colonial courthouse was once located.  The Taxpayer will be there starting at 6PM...

On April 24, 2013, under the leadership of Chair Dorothy Jaeckle, the BOS unanimously approved this meals tax resolution.

On May 22, 2013... the Taxpayer began the fight to restore fiscal sanity to a Board that loosened their budget belt to consume $14 Million more of the Taxpayers' purse and they are hungry for more. Spread the word and join the fun this coming Wednesday August 28th at 6:00PM in front of the Board of Supervisors meeting.

The adopted April 24th resolution triggers a request to order the special election on November 5, 2013 to stick it to the Taxpayer.

Unless it is defeated by the Taxpayer, the five Board of Supervisors would enact an ordinance for a new tax on the Taxpayer. That's right a $10 burger will be $0.20 more. A $50 meal will be $1.00 more. This hurts small businesses located in Chesterfield County. And when the burger  buyer does not show up because they are mad... then the small business loses $10 or $50 or $100...(read more here)

Please do all you can to fight Chesterfield and Henrico trying to raise your taxes

Please do all you can to fight this in Chesterfield and Henrico. Don't fall for the ruse. Every time any level of government tries to raise your taxes they do their level best to convince you that it's for a worthy cause. It's for the children, it's for schools, it's for teachers, it's for roads, yada, yada, yada. Of course the money never goes to those things, the government finds other places to spend it (See Virginia's recent tax increase that is supposed to go to our roads - even though we were already supposed to have money set aside for that).

At no time does the government talk about cutting spending or weeding out graft, corruption, and inefficiency. And remember this stuff when elections roll around. NO MORE TAXES!

Read an article in the Richmond Times Dispatch on how feverishly the Chesterfield Board of Supervisors is trying to promote this Tax Increase here.
