Senator Robinette Fights Raises in Virginia Senate
In a busy Tuesday session Senator Lloyd M. Robinette of Lee County condemned proposed raises for state Officials and argued against 20 percent annual increases capped at 1000. The Senate voted down his amendments by nearly three to one before approving the bills. The General Assembly also passed the budget surpassing 1.3 billion dollars after amendments and considered extending ballot integrity measures and refining election law. A bill transferring Bestford County to the Sixth Judicial Circuit and preserving Franklin County in the 30th was enacted, seen as a compromise related to a prior measure. The Senate Finance Committee backed a study and rehabilitation division for alcoholics within the Health Department, replacing a plan to spend 750000 on clinics in Richmond and Roanoke with 250000 funded from the General Fund.
