					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not sure what bill this was, that included the bonds but here&#039;s the closest I can find:
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?081+sum+SB795

The fiscal impact statement has a breakdown per year for the debt service:
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?081+oth+SB795FS1122+PDF

It also kinda hard to calculate exactly how many people are paying taxes, given that through about 18 years of age teenagers aren&#039;t really paying that many taxes:

					<description><![CDATA[I can&#039;t fault the intended use of the money - essentially for the most vulnerable and defenseless of society....

but all things DO cost money..and one way to better shed light on this .. and other bond issuences - both State and local is to do the numbers.

Say... 1.4 billion financed at 30 years probably will result in 3 billion paid back.. now divide that into 7.5 million citizens to get each of our share.

$400 by my math... then divide that by 30... =  13 bucks and some change per year..

check my math...]]></description>
