Good afternoon, I'm Jean Jadhon.

Ellen Qualls is in our Richmond newsroom with the details.

Jean, if the details sound familiar, it's because the idea originated with Democratic State Senator Madison Marye of Montgomery County last year... and were hammered out in closer detail by a bi-partisan legislative committee last month.

So the proposal Gilmore officials are telling lawmakers tonight is to cut two cents off the four-and-a-half cents on every dollar you pay at the grocery store.

cocktail to do its job.
