(Covid-19 relief fund proposed; taxing electronic skill games to fund it proposed)

https://www.facebook.com/GovernorVA/


I'm asking the General Assembly to establish a #COVID19 relief fund to help small businesses get back on their feet and provide support to nursing homes, Virginians looking for employment, individuals with rent and mortgage issues, and people experiencing homelessness.

I'm proposing a tax on electronic skill games that would generate more than $150 million a year for the new fund. I urge Virginia legislators to approve this plan when they return to Richmond on April 22 so we can get Virginians the aid they need to weather this crisis.

Walking in and seeing people hanging out inside a gas station is just sad.
