From Fredericksburg.com:
House Speaker Bill Howell, R-Stafford, said he hopes Kaine will prepare the state for “the least optimistic forecast.”
“Each month we delay not doing anything about it, the harder it is to make up the difference,” Howell said. “I’m hoping we’ll get a pretty realistic and yet conservative estimate of how big the shortfall is going to be.”
Howell and other Republicans have criticized Kaine’s administration in the past for predicting revenue levels that turned out to be overly optimistic.
Also Wednesday, legislators will hold a special session to address a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said it’s the prosecution’s job to make forensic analysts available for questioning in court.
