Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and leaders of the General Assembly have reached agreement to start over on the state budget, hoping to avert a shutdown. RICHMOND — Virginia lawmakers and Gov. Glenn Youngkin have reached a deal aimed at averting a nasty confrontation over the state budget, agreeing to set aside the current plan and work toward a new budget document sometime next month, according to two people close to the arrangements.
With Democrats who control both chambers of the legislature expressing no interest in Youngkin’s plan to drastically rewrite the budget they passed March 9, it seemed as though the state was careening toward a showdown in which Youngkin would exercise a first-ever veto of the entire budget.That, in turn, would leave Virginia facing a possible — and unprecedented — shutdown of state government if no budget compromise was reached by the end of the current fiscal year on June 30.
