New jobs and a new plan to help laid off workers in Southside.
Governor Jim Gilmore today unveiled a statewide solution to the job crisis felt hardest in Martinsville and Henry County.
But those who wrote the original bills say the new plans look a lot like the old plans.

Keith, the Governor's bill would increase the maximum weekly unemployment check 36 dollars, eliminate the one week wait for those laid off by bankruptcy, and let people collect benefits while taking classes.
If that sounds familiar, it's because it's all been suggested by lawmakers before.

((GOV. JIM GILMORE: I'M DOING IT BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA AND RESTORING THEIR PEACE OF MIND.))

The Governor says he didn't want to shoot from the hip-- but take time putting his plan together.
[sot 15:15:49]
((DEL. WARD ARMSTRONG/D-HENRY CO.: THE BILL THAT HE SENDS DOWN I DON'T THINK IS REALLY VASTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE UNDERLYING BILL THAT WE DID. I MEAN, ALL ALONG, NOBODY DISAGREED THAT THERE'D BE A 36 DOLLAR INCREASE STATEWIDE.))
[runs=:12]

Last week, his Deputy Secretary of Commerce told lawmakers a statewide increase could "drain the Unemployment Trust Fund."
The Governor denied that concern today, but had NO final dollar figure.

((GOV. JIM GILMORE: I WANT TO BRING HOPE TO THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE HURTING IN SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA, IMMEDIATE HOPE. SO THAT NO CHILD WILL GO UNFED, OR UNCLOTHED, OR BE ABLE TO SEE A DOCTOR.))

The last part, about the doctor, raised some questions.
Gilmore's plan would increase access to local health departments.
But it is NOT health insurance.

[Live=Ellen Full/Microwave]
[SUPER=05-Richmond;]

The Senate Finance Committee has an emergency health insurance plan just for the Southside workers.
The Governor did NOT embrace that today.
His bill now goes to the House and Senate.
It has a key advantage-- it would retroactively pay the increased benefits back to November 28th... something Ward Armstrong would have needed 81 votes to accomplish... but the Governor can do with just 51 votes in the House.
