State Legislative Issues
About Us On December 17th, Governor Tim Kaine released his 2008-2010 biennial budget before a joint meeting of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance committees. For information about the items contained in the budget, click here. You can listen to an audio version of the governor's speech to the committees HERE. On January 9, 2008, the 2008 General Assembly session will convene and is scheduled to adjourn on or about March 8, 2008. During the session, in addition to finalizing the biennial budget, the legislature will consider over 3,000 bills, many of which will be relevant to local governments in general and to the City of Hampton specifically.
