Gilmore outlines 466821 funding for Tazewell County priorities
Governor Gilmore says 466 821 will fund education and public safety in Tazewell County with no impact on state employee or teacher retirement benefits. The plan could cushion potential reductions in state aid as the budget battle in Richmond delays a final budget for FY 2001 2002. Witten notes the news sounds good and hopes funding aids teacher pay raises amid uncertain state finances. The VRS rate reduction allows further retirement fund savings for both state and local governments without legislative action.
