Creigh Deeds Was Against Raising Taxes Before He Was For It

And that was all in the same debate. Read this:

Later, Deeds opened himself to criticism by saying that he would not raise taxes but that he would come up with new money to pay for road and transit improvements. Pushed by reporters after the debate to explain the seeming contradiction, Deeds amended his answer to say he has no plans to raise taxes that go to the state's general fund, which pays for schools, public safety and other services. He did not make the same promise for taxes that support the state's transportation trust fund.

That's politician speak telling you that he most certainly will raise taxes and he has planned on it all along.
