Governor McDonnell and his team of
Republicans in the Virginia House of Delegates and State Senate.
Rather than raise taxes on an already stressed economy as Creigh
Deeds would most likely have done, they went to work on the budget
and made the hard decisions. The result is a $220 million budget
surplus. ... Most importantly, they sent the money we have to where
it is needed most; schools and transportation.
From the July 15, 2010 Washington Post story "Budget surplus loosens purse strings a bit in Virginia:"
"For the first time in nearly four years, Virginia state employees are going to get a pay boost. And after years of cuts so deep that teachers were laid off and highways went unrepaired, schools and roads are going to get millions in unexpected state cash."
"The rare bit of positive news came Wednesday, when Gov. Robert F. McDonnell announced that Virginia has an unexpectedly large budget surplus of about $220 million. The surplus makes Virginia one of at least 10 states that have reported finishing the past fiscal year in the black, and it provides hope that the recovery is real."
""Economic activity is on a slight uptick in Virginia, which we can embrace and celebrate," McDonnell said. "I think we're tracking in the right direction.""
