As the House adjourned sine die, Speaker Howell issued a press release on the many legislative successes of the House in the 2010 session.

The State Budget contained many of the key accomplishments of the session, including rejection of former Governor Kaine’s 17 percent income tax hike, and a reduction in state spending for the first time in recent memory. In fact, the 2010-2012 Biennial Budget returns general fund spending to 2006 levels.
