Rebate Checks Seen as Political in Nature

According to an article published in Yahoo News, despite the good news brought by the rebate checks to the residents in the state, some viewed it as political in nature. Some residents said that the distribution of checks gave credit to Youngkin. It has a statement telling people that they are “Receiving this rebate because Governor Glenn Youngkin recently signed a bill passed by the 2023 Virginia General Assembly.”

Moreover, Virginia House Democratic Leader Don Scott also said, “Am I supposed to be surprised that these checks are coming out the week before the election. Virginians won’t be fooled by this, just like they were not fooled when Donald Trump sent out checks before his losing election.”
