RICHMOND, VA — Today, Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn issued the following statement upon the passage of the House of Delegates budget bill:
“This historic budget will revitalize areas of our Commonwealth impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and will help us build back stronger. Virginians have experienced so much hardship in the last year and a half, and this budget sends a clear message to Virginians: we hear you, we are working for you, and we are building an even stronger Virginia in the process. I want to thank Appropriations Chair Luke Torian, Vice Chair Mark Sickles, and the hardworking Appropriations staff for their time and effort in putting together this budget. I am so proud of the incredible work that we have done to act quickly, responsibly, and decisively when Virginians needed it the most.”
