Assembly Committed to Annexation Package Financing
RICHMOND AP A Virginia House Finance Committee member says the General Assembly effectively financed the 1979 annexation package. Delegate Richard Cranwell noted the package’s approval and urged against tax cut proposals, citing $150 million in local aid as tax relief to offset local property taxes. Secretary Charles Walker echoed that view, saying surplus funds are already spoken for and likely to aid cities in annexation in exchange for county growth limits.
