Virginia lawmakers opened the 1980 General Assembly amid fierce debate over Gov. Dalton's four percent gasoline tax proposal. Many opposed it or demanded proof of need, while a few unreservedly supported it. Dalton warned highway funding is dire, urging fiscal responsibility and a two thirds vote for tax changes, as he unveiled an $11.5 billion two year budget and increases for education health welfare prisons and transportation.
