VIRGINIA RANKS SECOND IN FISCAL MANAGEMENT

Financial World magazine named Virginia as the second-best fiscally managed state in the union in its 1995 survey. Utah ranked first. ``Virginia is still the envy of the rest of the nation,'' the magazine said. Virginia and Utah received ``straight A's'' for sound fiscal performance, the only two states to receive the top ranking. In 1992 and 1993, Virginia ranked first among the states. by CNB
