Delegate Bob Purkey (R-Virginia Beach) explains how he kills initiatives that come before his Finance Committee. This year he killed a bill that would end taxes on assistance extended to Virginia National Guard and reserve members and their families when they are deployed overseas and experience an unanticipated financial hardship that keeps them from affording basic necessities. Delegate Joe Bouchard (D-Virginia Beach) who patroned the bill, offered to reimburse the state for any lost revenues from his legislator's salary.
