Virginia Budget Cuts Public Broadcasting


Location:
Richmond, VA, United States

The Virginia General Assembly adjourned its annual legislative session Sunday evening after adopting a two-year, $82 billion budget that cuts millions from education, health care and public safety -- curtailing state spending more aggressively than any in generations while fulfilling the new Republican governor's promise not to raise taxes. Funding for the arts and public broadcasting will be cut by 15 percent over two years.
