A compromise deal on a state budget is likely to be reached in the next few days
One Democratic senator, Creigh Deeds, told The Associated Press this month that his caucus’ most recent compromise offer included tax relief mostly in the form of rebates but also conceded some permanent cuts. Howell more recently toldBecause the state operates on a two-year budget, with the plan initially adopted in even-numbered years and amended in odd-numbered years, the impasse hasn’t stopped the state government from functioning, even though the new fiscal year started July 1.
“We’re dealing with both the spending categories, as well as the tax categories,” Barker said Wednesday of the ongoing talks. “And what we have is a situation where we’re trying to make sure that we are meeting the needs of the Virginians, in terms of taxes, but also making sure that we have the resources we need, not only now but into the future.
“Many people have travel plans and vacation plans — it’s hard to get everybody back. And that’s creating some consternation,” Howell said. “Here in Virginia, our financial results have never been stronger: record reserves, an AAA bond rating, and billions in surplus,” he said.
