Legislators To Answer $1 Billion Question

The General Assembly’s 2023 session is heading down the home-stretch, with just 10 days remaining before the scheduled adjournment date of Feb. 25. There is a $1 billion question looming over legislators – whether to approve tax cuts of this magnitude, or to boost spending by a similar amount for education, mental health and other basic services. Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin and the GOP majority in the House of Delegates favor the former while the Democraticdominated state Senate prefers the latter.
