From FoxNews/com:
Gov. Bob McDonnell bluntly ruled out tax increases on Monday as a solution for Virginia’s $4 billion budget shortfall, promising to target them for vetoes.
Just 53 hours after being sworn in, the new Republican governor braced state employees for deeper job cuts and residents for reduced services as the state struggles with its worst fiscal crisis.
“Some say taxes must be raised, it’s unavoidable. Here’s what I say. I will work with you — Democrats, Republicans and independents. We will meet and negotiate; there will be disagreements, and there will be compromises,” he said.
