Bill Bolling response to Gov. Kaine
"I am very disappointed by the budget Governor Kaine introduced earlier today. The Governor's budget does not properly address the shortfalls being experienced by the Commonwealth in the current fiscal year, and it includes unwise spending commitments and unreasonable economic assumptions in the upcoming biennium. This budget is not in keeping with the Virginia tradition of fiscal responsibility.
