Del. Patrick Hope (D-47) brought props to the legislative wrap-up session hosted by Social Action Linking Together (SALT) and the Virginia Coalition of Latino Organizations (VACOLAO) in Vienna on Saturday, March 31, held at the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 180. He said Virginia gives away $479 million in tax loopholes, and told the 60 supporters that that money could be used to create jobs. "We could provide jobs for 10,000 home-care workers or send 51,000 children to pre-k," Hope said.
