RICHMOND, VA – Governor Glenn Youngkin today released the following statement on the House and Senate Appropriations Committees' budget proposals.

"When I presented my proposed budget amendments in December, I said we needed to lower taxes to make Virginia more competitive for families and businesses, invest more in education to help children recover from learning loss, invest more to recruit 2,000 new law enforcement heroes, and take a major first step in transforming our behavioral health system. Those are still our goals, and I look forward to reviewing today's proposals from the House and Senate. I am confident that working together with Chairman Knight and Co-chairs Howell and Barker, we can get the job done for Virginians," said Governor Glenn Youngkin.
