As Chairman of the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee I am thrilled to announce an agreement on the budget! Details in this thread but first I want to say thank you to @DelegateTorian and the team from the House- we will adjourn on time for the first time in years!
This press release just went out from Delegate Torian and myself- and I will be back throughout the day to talk more about these highlights!
@SenLouiseLucas @DelegateTorian Corrupt politicians, doing what they do.
@SenLouiseLucas @DelegateTorian bravo!!!!! VA taxpayers not paying for corporate elites while making normal Alexandrian lives more taxed and commute unbearable!
@SenLouiseLucas @DelegateTorian As a Capitals season ticket holder and VA taxpayer, I will be thrilled to vote against you. You are unconcerned about the safety of VA taxpayers who attend Caps games in your efforts to fight Youngkin at every turn and reroute taxpayer money from NoVa to the south.
@SenLouiseLucas @DelegateTorian I’m sorry ma’am. With all the tax cuts and rebates this year a 3% increase for educators is simply disrespectful #VA_K12 #MostDedicatedWorkersInVA delegatetorian.com/senator-lucas-…
@SenLouiseLucas @DelegateTorian Good afternoon Chairman Lucas - congrats on the agreement! Would love to have you on @WTOP if you are available for a few minutes today or tomorrow to discuss?
@SenLouiseLucas @DelegateTorian We can only pray for help for the disabled & housing. Sect 8 Voucher wait lists are yrs long & there are landlords who'd be happy to convert struggling tenants to Vouchers but for lack of funding to move the waitlists up. The disabled who cant work are winding up on the streets.
