(The Center Square) – Virginia recorded a budget surplus of nearly $2 billion at the close of the fiscal year, which Gov. Glenn Youngkin believes is a sign taxpayers are forced to give too much money to the government.
“While I am pleased that our additional revenue can be reinvested in Virginia, the Commonwealth’s general fund revenue surplus confirms that Virginians have been overtaxed for way too long,” Youngkin said in a statement.
Don Scoggins, a retired Woodbridge resident is one of two new appointments to the Virginia Housing Authority.
In 2019, Scoggins ran as an independent for the At-large Prince William Board of County Supervisors seat won by current Chair Ann Wheeler.
