Sen. Harry Byrd Jr. Responds to Almond's 1962 Tax Speech
(WDBJ Television, Roanoke, VA)

State Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. believed Virginia did not need a new tax structure. The creation of a $28 million surplus without use of a sales tax was an example of why no new taxes were needed in Virginia. Byrd went one step further by indicating that Virginia can increase appropriations by as much as $47 million in the next two years without resorting to any new taxes.
