After more than two months of negotiation, Virginia lawmakers are nearing a deal on the state’s biennial budget plan and intend to hold a vote on compromise legislation on June 1.
The House of Delegates, which has narrow Republican control, and the Senate, which has narrow Democratic control, passed their own versions of the state budget in early March but missed a mid-March deadline to pass compromise legislation. Spokespersons for the House Republicans and the Senate Democrats have both confirmed with The Center Square they are nearing a deal that will be ready on June 1.
