Episode Notes
So the General Assembly ended its regular session without agreeing on a state budget. The state has a big surplus, and both Democrats and Republicans want to pass some tax cuts.
You'd think this would be a good thing, an easy thing to resolve. But you would be wrong. There's a gap -- a $2.8 billion gap -- between the Democratic Senate proposal and the Republican House proposal. The General Assembly reconvenes next week to try to hash all this out.
So this week, Bold Dominion is stepping back and doing one of our explainer episodes. How does the sausage get made in Virginia? Who actually crafts state budgets and how do they do it? And what can we expect Virginia's state budget to look like for the next couple years?
