With just hours remaining in the 2010 legislative session, House and Senate budget negotiators struck a deal on the state budget late Wednesday night, clearing the way for final adjournment today.
House Speaker David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) said the budget conference committee had reached agreement after nearly a week of negotiations on the $17.8 billion state budget.
“We didn’t have substantial differences between the House and the Senate,” Ralston said.
“That’s a product of the economic climate we’re in.”
The budget contained little in the way of frills as the state in 2011 will spend $3 billion less than just three years ago.
