Petition to Repeal Hybrid Vehicle Tax Goes to Gov. McDonnell
Delegate Scott Surovell, State Sen. Adam Ebbin will deliver close to 7,000 signatures asking for a repeal of the $100 hybrid vehicle tax.
Del. Scott Surovell (D-44th District) and Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-30th District) will deliver a petition to Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell in Richmond Monday morning from residents who want to repeal the hybrid vehicle tax.

In late February, Del. Surovell and Sen. Ebbin started an online petition against the hybrid tax. The petition garnered slightly under 7,000 signatures as of Sunday afternoon according to a Facebook update from Del. Surovell.
