Governor Glenn Youngkin is slashing almost a billion dollars from Virginia's budget, including cuts impacting child care and state universities.

Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin said on Friday that he would trim Virginia's budget by $900 million in light of next year's tax revenue projections, which could decrease as the White House's reshaping of federal spending spurs economic uncertainty in the state.

Governor Glenn Youngkin has signed the state budget, implementing nearly $900 million in cuts, a move that came after lawmakers approved only 30 of his approximately 200 proposed amendments. Youngkin said the budget reductions aim to maintain Virginia's economic prosperity.
