As Lost Cause devotees and American traitor venerators, the UDC should never have been on that list to begin with. The Washington Post’s Greg Schneider reported that Virginia Beach high schooler Simone Nied, 17, started advocating for the UDC’s tax exemptions to be stripped two years ago. Her requests culminated in House of Delegates and Senate bills to do just that. The loss of the tax exemptions, as Schneider noted, could mean a yearly tax payment to the state of at least $50,000, if the measures are approved by Gov. The Senate and House legislation on ending UDC’s tax breaks needs to be reconciled, and then the ball will be in Gov.
