Governor Jim Gilmore's plan to cut the car tax over five years will cost a
BILLION dollars more than he promised in the campaign.
But at last, he's laid out some specifics.

Well Jean, today the Governor said he will need an EXTRA 236-million dollars
for just the first two years of car tax phase-out -- and to add another
thousand schoolteachers over the thousand Governor Allen had budgeted.
The good news is that most of that money comes from revised revenue
projections, courtesy of a booming economy.
But some of it comes in what Gilmore calls "adjustments," i.e. CUTS to what
Allen had promised to progams like the Roanoke Higher Education Center and the
Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville.

Cases among 10- to- 49 year olds rose nine- percent during the same period.
The C-D-C says those figures suggest older Americans are not protecting
themselves.
