Virginia Finance Panel Drops Reserve Funds in Budget Shuffle
The Virginia Senate Finance Committee voted to strip a 9.1 billion state budget of its 25 million contingency reserve and to use part of it to repay 35 million borrowed from the highway fund. The move sets up a clash with the House over emergency money, while delaying full repayment until the end of the two year budget period. The panel also eyed expanding tax relief for low income Virginians, shifting funds to projects and raises, with final action likely by Wednesday as the 60 day session nears its close.
