Virginia Governor Proposes 33.5 Percent Budget Increase
Governor Linwood Holton presents a 1972-74 Virginia budget totaling 5.2 billion dollars, a 33.6 percent rise, funded by higher income and gas taxes and increased local government aid. The plan excludes a general obligation bond issue, endorses a 2-cent gas tax hike, and targets education, welfare, and Medicaid expansion. Local governments seek welfare costs relief and piggyback income tax authority, but Holton rebuffs the latter while proposing a local option on sales tax. The General Assembly convenes to consider the package as lawmakers weigh tax changes and a cabinet style executive.
