Yet it is a very worthy aspiration.”Under Youngkin’s plan, revenue generated from the car tax would be replaced with “a further increase in local sales taxes.”The proposed budget calls for an increase in the state sales tax, from 4.3% to 5.2%, and a 12% cut in state income taxes that Youngkin said includes all tax brackets. It would cover the next two fiscal years.“The car tax belongs in the trash can, not in your mailbox,” Youngkin said Wednesday.Getting rid of the long-standing car tax would likely be popular, but it’s an unoriginal idea, according to Stephen Farnsworth, a political-science professor at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia...

The reciprocal event occurs at the same time for the Earth’s Southern Hemisphere, which experiences the most amount of direct sunlig...
