After only a few months in office,Virginians are expressing displeasure with Virginia’s Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s tenure thus far.

A Washington Post–George Mason University Schar School poll shows Spanberger with thehighest disapproval ratingat this point in her term than any Governor, from either party, since 1994.

Under Spanberger’s leadership, Democrats have championed a slew of leftist policies, includingpolitical indoctrinationin public schools, pushingsweeping new gun control laws,aradical congressional redistricting referendum, andsoft on crime polices.

Spanberger is also hampering residents and businesses with a flurry of new taxes proposed to increase revenue, including levies on everything from car ownership to dog walking to gym memberships, as well as regional sales tax increases and delivery taxes in certain areas.

Spanberger’s tax increases are part of broader efforts to expand Virginia’s sales tax base from goods to services, thus raising compliance costs, operating expenses, and prices for small businesses and their customers.

HB243 increases taxes on large employers, proposing a tax equal to 100% of qualified employee benefits for large employersRegional sales tax increases and delivery taxes in certain areas.

While not all of the bills have passed or reached her desk, Spanberger’s intent is clear: she wants to tax residents and businesses into oblivion.

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey (R) sees Spanberger’s overreach as a prime opportunity to woo VA-based businesses across state lines, saying his state is “open for business.”

“We’re going to be spending some time in Loudoun County and all across Virginia on making the pitch and the comparison of the direction that West Virginia is moving in [and] the direction Virginia is going in,” Morrisey told Fox News Digital on the sidelines of the announcement of a new 275-acre commercial tax district he said will bring $200 million in economic investment to the three-county Eastern Panhandle region.

“The backyard brawl for our state’s future is being won both at the kitchen table and in the marketplace,” Morrisey said, noting that the Tabler Station project he unveiled is just one of many similar plans-in-action around the state.
