Reminder: @SpanbergerForVA ran on “affordability”, then immediately slapped a carbon tax on every Virginians power bill. “You keep using that word (affordability). I do not think it means what you think it means." - Princes Bride

Your electric bill is going up again. You already subsidize Big Tech's data center buildout every month. Now the Governor has added a new Carbon Tax to your power bill. That's another $1.2 billion being passed along directly to you. Very bad timing.
Fairfax Board of Supervisors are poor stewards of PUBLIC resources. Call your board member to insist they stop the spending madness.
🚨New: Fairfax County Chairman Jeff McKay spent more than a quarter million tax dollars to build a COVID memorial and the Board of Supervisors voted to spend nearly a million tax dollars for the planning of an arts hub with few details on how it would benefit the community.
The Taxpayers Protection Alliance said this is not where taxpayer money should go, especially since county leaders couldn’t find the money for crossing guards at local high schools and have continued to raise local taxes year after year.
In fact, Fairfax County now has one of the highest property tax rates in Virginia. And the Board of Supervisors, led by McKay, also recently implemented a food tax despite voters shooting it down twice.

Great to see more voices joining my call for a statewide data center moratorium.
I called on Governor Spanberger in July to pause new approvals across Virginia. Since then, the case for a moratorium has only gotten stronger.
Before we approve more, Virginia needs answers on power, water, infrastructure, and who will bear the costs.
Welcome aboard.

A lot of these cameras went up with almost no public debate. The locality signed a contract, cameras got installed, and residents found out after the fact that a private company was logging traffic on public roads.
Now Virginia has thousands of them.
I’m introducing legislation next session to take these cameras down. If a locality wants them gone before then, they can cancel the contract. Either way, this should not have been decided in a vendor meeting.
Flock cameras are popping up all over Virginia. They record where people drive and store that information in searchable databases.
Virginians shouldn’t be tracked by their government just because they’re driving down the road.
I’m introducing legislation to get these cameras out of Virginia.
Catch criminals. Stop tracking everybody else.

Last Saturday, I called for a statewide ban on these surveillance camera networks.
Now Governor Spanberger says a ban is “overly simplistic.”
Good. Now Virginians know where the Governor stands.
The choice is clear: regulate the surveillance network, or get rid of it.
I think the answer is simple: get rid of it.

Virginia is starting to turn against these surveillance camera networks.
Dumfries. Campbell. Appomattox. Goochland. Christiansburg. Giles. Halifax. Wythe.
People are taking a closer look at what these cameras collect, where the data goes, and who can search it. And they’re saying No!

At a time when Virginians are already struggling with higher electric costs, Governor Spanberger signed a bill increasing the average electric bill by $10-13 per month.
Ignore the press releases claiming it's about affordability. Look at your paycheck. Look at your electric bill. Every two weeks, you're taking home less. Every month, you're paying more. That's the reality Virginia families are facing, and it’s not right.

This data center study the House cooked up with the Governor will be staffed by members of the data center industry and lobbyists. It’s a “blue ribbon” commission that’s designed to not actually accomplish anything.
Giving a $2B a year tax break to Big Tech is not in the best interest of Virginians, especially when they’re paying higher electric bills to subsidize the data centers’ electricity needs too.
Meanwhile, this budget gives the General Assembly a 150% pay increase. What’s been done to earn that?!

Most of today is dry. The rain moves in after about 5pm in the city and sticks around through the evening. This is 7pm. Take that umbrella with you when you head out for dinner.
