Virginia House of Delegates Republican Caucus
Republicans Add Another $35K to $1.1M in Leg Branch Savings
announced another $35K in savings in the House of Delegates budget for Fiscal Year 2010. That's on top of the $1.1 million already eliminated from the House operating budget during Fiscal Year 2010.
