When Governor Tim Kaine took office, he named Jody as the Commonwealth’s first female Secretary of Finance. During her tenure, they kept Virginia moving forward by investing in infrastructure while maintaining fiscal discipline and standing up to those who would be reckless with the state’s financial stability. By making hard decisions, they kept Virginia fiscally strong despite difficult economic times.
From the Associated Press (h/t Mason Conservative):
Virginia’s shaky revenues took a deep dive in May, falling nearly 16 percent from the year before.
That leaves the state about $1.3 billion short of a year-end revenue target that has already been drastically reduced three times this year . . .
