Virginia Lawmakers Clash with Governor Youngkin Over Budget Amendments and Vetoes

As the Virginia General Assembly reconvenes, deep divisions emerge over Governor Glenn Youngkin's extensive budget amendments and a record number of vetoes.

Virginia lawmakers are in Richmond to address Governor Youngkin's 233 budget amendments and a historic number of vetoes.
Democrats, holding the majority, express strong opposition to Youngkin's proposals, particularly his extensive rewrites of the budget.
The governor's amendments include rejecting a sales tax expansion on digital products, which he initially proposed, and maintaining current tax policies.
Potential government shutdown looms if a budget agreement is not reached by the June 30 deadline.
Lawmakers also debate other significant bills, including regulations on skill games and local sales tax increases for school construction.
