Budget impasse over transportation funding roils Virginia lawmakers
The House refused to approve about 1 billion dollars yearly in new transportation revenue, risking stalled spending plans. The final two year budget adds 8 billion to the current level, with continued promises to revisit transportation later this year. Legislators call the outcome a disappointment, citing a long term funding problem. Jamestown 2007 receives nearly 1.6 million more, bringing total state support to about 15.2 million.
