RICHMOND, VA – Governor Glenn Youngkin today signed the Virginia State Budget, delivering on promises made to all Virginians to lower the cost of living by providing an additional billion dollars in tax relief, restoring excellence in education by empowering parents and investing in our students and supporting law enforcement.
“This budget is the result of what we can accomplish when we put politics down and choose conservative commonsense solutions and make critical investments to ensure Virginia is the best state to live, work, and raise a family. I’m proud that we’re delivering on our promises to our veterans, our families, and fellow Virginians to lower the cost of living by providing an additional one billion dollars in tax relief on top of last year’s historic four billion dollars,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “This budget not only reflects our commitment to our students and teachers but also our law enforcement community in the Commonwealth. Together, we are accelerating results and building a Virginia that competes to win and gives the next generation of parents, teachers, students, farmers, law enforcement, nurses and first responders the tools needed to ensure their success and prosperity in the Commonwealth.”
“This budget represents that bipartisan, bicameral compromise is still strong in Virginia. I was so pleased to see the Governor sign this important bill today that gives record funding to our public schools, supports our law enforcement in their mission to keep Virginia communities safe, and expands access to much needed mental healthcare. Most importantly, we did all of this while also giving back hard-earned tax dollars to Virginia’s families,” said Delegate Barry Knight, House Appropriations Committee Chair. |
