Governor McAuliffe Addresses the Joint Money Committees and Proposes Several Actions to Address the Budget Shortfall

Governor McAuliffe proposes several new actions to either increase or target funding in Commerce and Trade funding, Workforce funding, Veterens funding, Education funding, Health Care, Public Safety and Voting Machines. Proposed savings are found from some budget cuts made up of increased user fees and changes made to Virginia’s Tax Preferences, including those identified by the Joint Leglislative Audit and Review Commission.
