A larger-than-expected state budget surplus means Virginia will speed up a tax break.
Governor Warner delivered the news in Richmond this morning.
The tax break is the personal exemption, a deduction for each taxpayer and their dependents. That deduction was originally scheduled to get bigger in 2006, but Warner says he will now move the tax break up to this coming January.
