Governor Announces Revenue Reforecast, Plan to Address Shortfall
December 17 — Governor Timothy M. Kaine released the state's official revenue forecast and announced measures to address the shortfall in a speech to the Joint Money Committees.
"We meet in a time of tremendous challenge for the Commonwealth and its citizens. The national economic recession is being felt by families and businesses across the country. As citizens and businesses bring in less revenue, government revenues decline. And, just as citizens and businesses have to tighten their belts and live within their means, state governments must do the same. This is a time for calm resolve to make tough decisions that will position us for a better future."
