Upcoming Sales Tax Holiday on Back-to-School Items

July 26, 2010 by Tim Hugo

I would like to remind you of the upcoming sales tax holiday, which is August 6th through 8th.  During this holiday certain school supplies, clothing, and footwear will be exempt from the Virginia sales tax.

In 2006, I co-patroned the bill that eliminates the sales tax on certain school related items for one weekend each year. As a father of four, I know how expensive “Back-to-School” shopping can be.
 
All school supplies selling for $20 or less per item, and articles of clothing, including footwear, selling for $100 or less per item, will be exempt from sales tax.

Clifton, VA (July 9, 2010) Last night the School Board passed a vote to shut down Clifton Elementary School. This is a major setback for the hundreds of community residents who dedicated so much of their time and effort to saving Clifton Elementary.

The debate lasted over two hours. Hundreds of residents were in attendance for the final vote, to show their support for saving Clifton Elementary.

Help Haitian Relief Efforts

January 15, 2010 by Tim Hugo

 
Dear Friends,

As I am sure you are aware, a massive earthquake struck the small nation of Haiti earlier this week. The United States has actively been involved in relief efforts by sending money, as well as humanitarian aid.
 
I am writing to make you aware of a great program the Red Cross has introduced in order to raise money quickly and effectively. By using your mobile phone, you can text “Haiti” to the number 90999, and this will send an immediate $10 donation.
 
Currently this program has raised over $3 million, with many more donations expected. You can find out more information by visiting the Red Cross website at http://www.redcross.org
 
Please take the time to make this small donation, as it will go a long way in assisting with the relief efforts, as well as the Haitian people.
 
Regards,
 
Tim
