Trimming the sails of Governor Jim Gilmore's "no car tax" plan has given General Assembly committees a little more money to work with.
In competing budgets released this evening, House and Senate budget writers re-wrote Gilmore's priorities.
Both committees opted for:
-- more money to uninsured children,
-- pay-for-performance increases over the existing pay raises for state workers,
-- more aid to the mentally ill,
(----------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=@file;]

Both also included more cash for high-tech equipment and training throughout Virginia's education system.
The House committee included historic direct state aid for school construction projects; Senate budget writers just included more money in the school construction loan fund.
The House committee just said NO to Governor Gilmore's two- thousand new elementary teachers.
The committee replaced it with a new reading teacher for every elementary school, for the same price tag.
The proposed Roanoke Higher Education Center got NO help from either money committee to restore cuts from Governor Gilmore.
