Assembly adds 3 days to session
March 10, 2008 | Virginia News
A bitterly divided General Assembly voted last night to extend the 2008 session by three days in another effort to reach an agreement on the state's $77 billion budget.
At 10:31 p.m., the Virginia Senate voted to concur with the House on the extension. Budget negotiators, who return to work at 1 p.m. today, will have two days to reach a compromise. The assembly is now scheduled to return Tuesday to adopt the budget.
