The governor linked eight spending proposals to the anticipated savings, including a proposed $63.7 million cut in the corporate income tax rate and $42 million for an increase in the personal exemption, which both committees say they will not support.

The committees may look for other ways to fund some of the other proposals, such as an additional $12.9 million for the new GO Virginia economic development program, $4 million in support for the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing, and $8.5 million for the Massey Cancer Center at Virginia Commonwealth University. They also will have to find about $35 million in funding for inmate health care that the governor had wanted to finance with federal dollars.

“We took all of those items out,” Jones said Tuesday. “We will be putting some of them back.”

The decision was no surprise to health care advocates who have continued to fight for expanded health coverage of uninsured Virginians, including low-income parents and working adults. “It’s more than disappointing that the legislators continue to ignore the needs of this population,” said Jill A. Hanken, senior attorney at the Virginia Poverty Law Center.
