Spank That Donkey does a decent takedown of Bob Lewis’ latest report on the Gilmore-Warner race (but he forgot to cross-post), but there was one part of the Warner story that Lewis didn’t mention: Warner’s second biennial budget had $10.5 billion more in spending than his first.
In other words, $9 billion in new spending wasn’t enough for Warner when he demanded a tax increase in 2004.
I ask again: where did the $9 billion go?

So if he had $9 billion new spending, but claims to have a $6 billion shortfall, he lied to Va taxpayers by $15 billion!
