Normally, business executives love tax cuts.
But now a group of business leaders is warning politicians it may be time to raise taxes to repair Virginia's schools and roads.
The more than 100 executives -- including well-connected Republicans and Democrats -- plan to use their clout and wealth to accomplish what they say politicians can't or won't.
SS=campaign 97


The executives decided to take their crusade statewide.
They're upset the governor's race between Democrat Don Beyer and Republican Jim Gilmore has become an advertising war over whose tax cut is better.
Both Beyer and Gilmore have proposed ways of reducing the burden of the personal property tax.

(( The murder of G.P. Johnson has brought state civil rights leaders and federal officials to Grayson County, as they and county residents wonder how much race was a motive in his killing.
That prompted a viewer from Bedford to write:
"My heart goes out to the Johnson family. I do not know them personally, but my parents knew them when they lived in the Elk Creek/Bethel area of Grayson County. They have been deeply concerned for the family. The Johnsons are a fine family.
As I listened to [the] story regarding the negative impact this murder might have on Grayson County, my eyes teared. It pains me deeply to think that anyone could think badly of Grayson County. My husband and I visit the Elk Creek area quite often to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the everyday work week.
When we visit...I close my eyes and listen to the sounds--the milk cows munching on grass, the sounds different types of birds are making, the buzzing of bees, the engine of a tractor, the men talking about their plans for the afternoon.
My husband and I are presently looking for some land in the Bethel/Elk Creek area in which to build a home, hopefully within the next five years. I want to be a part of the Home Demonstration Club, the quilting bees, the community suppers. I want my children and grandchildren to have a place to come in order to find that peacefulness my husband and I find and to make Grayson County a part of their life, too.
