McAuliffe outlines plan to close budget shortfall
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe proposed steps to mend a projected 1.26 billion shortfall. The plan would require out-of-state retailers like Amazon to collect Virginia sales tax, cut public university funding by 5 percent, extend tax amnesty, and preserve a budget-balancing mechanism to boost the general fund starting in 2018. Additional revenue and deeper cuts may follow in January.
