OT Tax relief in Virginia

If you are living or traveling in Virginia this
weekend, take note that there will be a sales tax
holiday for certain items that save energy. Here is the
explanation from Gov. Tim Kaine:

The ENERGY STAR Sales Tax Holiday will take place from Friday, October 5 through Monday, October 8, 2007.

During this holiday, Everyone will be exempt from
paying sales tax in Virginia on

ENERGY STAR qualified products that cost $2,500 or
less, like compact fluorescent light bulbs,

ceiling fans, clothes washers, dehumidifiers,
dishwashers, programmable thermostats,

refrigerators, and room air conditioners.

This might be a good time to stock up on the special
light bulbs you use in your sewing lamps, or the
washers you use to wash your stash. To say nothing of
the refrigerators that store the fuel you need to quilt!
