RICHMOND, Va. (AP)- Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin wants lawmakers back in Richmond in early April to finish this year’s work.
The Republican governor issued a proclamation Wednesday saying that a special session will commence April 4.
The move comes after the clock ran out during the regular General Assembly session without the Democrat-controlled Senate and GOP-controlled House reaching agreement on the state budget.
Youngkin reiterated his position Wednesday that higher-than-anticipated revenues mean the General Assembly should enact substantial tax cuts.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch also reports the governor plans to push his tax-cut plan with a campaign-style TV ad that will air across the state beginning Thursday.
