Cardinal Conversation: Proposed sales tax increase would fund school construction across Virginia

The question will be on the ballot in every part of the state as local governments look for ways to pay for upgrades to aging school buildings.

Cardinal news education reporter Meghan Mangrum is covering the issue and she spoke with Fred Echols.
