Cardinal Conversation: Virginia's school construction tax referendum

Voters in more than 40 Virginia localities will decide this November whether to raise their sales tax by 1% in order to generate money for building and repairing public schools.

Local government's authority to seek public approval for the tax increase is provided in a law passed by the General Assembly earlier this year.

Fred Echols talked with Cardinal News reporter Meghan Mangrum about the need and how the tax would work.
