"Virginia Lawmakers and Youngkin Reach Agreement to Avert Budget Crisis and Address Key Amendments"

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and state lawmakers have agreed to set aside the current budget plan and work towards a new budget document next month, averting a potential crisis. The bipartisan agreement aims to avoid a showdown over taxes and spending priorities, with plans to reject all of Youngkin's proposed budget amendments and then procedurally kill the underlying document. A special legislative session is expected to be held in mid-May to finalize the budget process well before the June 30 deadline.
