Virginia General Assembly Ends First Short Session Capsule
The Virginia General Assembly wrapped up its first annual short session early Sunday. Major actions included trimming the $215 million mini budget to about $188 million, approving bonds for the Richmond Petersburg Turnpike and a new Medical College of Virginia hospital, and broad reforms in taxation, welfare, education, and court systems. The session also debated no fault auto insurance, bingo legalization, parimutuel betting, and a mass transit umbrella plan, with mixed outcomes.
