There are three budget plans going through the Virginia General Assembly: the Governor’s, the House’s and the Senate’s.

Ready for upload are several documents the may be of interest:

*A more detailed Download file“>summary of retirement funding issue
*Download file“>Briefing of Finance Committee to its members this morning
*Download file“>Comparison of House and Governor’s plan. (From an anonymous but reliable source).
