Mass Transit Viewed To Be Public Service
A Richmond based AP report notes a subcommittee recommends Virginia take more responsibility for financing mass transit capital needs. Transit should be a public service funded by all government levels, with state aid limited to facility construction and acquisition. Localities should bear transit deficits while highway funds may finance buses if needed, prompting greater local control and flexibility.

The six to five majority of a Virginia legislative commission recommended legalizing collective bargaining for localities that choose to negotiate with public employee associations. A five-member dissent favored a limited meet and confer approach. The report notes existing local agreements and cites Governor Mills Godwin's stance against strikes while signaling limited bargaining support.
