Tax Restructuring in Virginia: A Revenue Neutral Path for Improving Our Economy —
By Michael W. Thompson Can Virginia’s tax system be adjusted in a way that would be revenue neutral and grow our economy over the next several years? This new study by the Thomas Jefferson Institute says “Yes.” By re-arranging some of our current taxes, Virginia could dramatically improve our economy and provide substantial tax relief to our citizens. At the same time, we could eliminate three unfair and anti-competitive taxes that have harmed economic growth in our state. And all of it can be accomplished in a “tax neutral” manner that would avoid the traditional “battle lines” over tax policy.

According to a new study by the Thomas Jefferson Institute, all of that can be done … and more. (4/30/2012) Read It Here!

Students Without Borders: Funding Online Education in Virginia —
In 2010, Virginia became the 28th state to create a formal policy for the establishment of full-time multi-district virtual schools -- online education through which students anywhere in the state are able to work full-time with their teachers and curriculum over the Internet, rather than in a traditional classroom. But equitable funding -- which is widely variable from school division to school division -- has remained a challenge. This paper looks at virtual school funding around the country, considers the challenge of funding online education through a system designed for bricks and mortar schools within geographic boundaries, and offers a solution for Virginia policymakers.
