Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has proposed deep, unprecedented cuts to public schools, to the state government work force, and to health and welfare safety net programs in a $2.1 billion bid to balance a critically troubled state budget. The Republican governor sent shock waves across the General Assembly, struggling with its own budget plans, teachers, state workers. The cuts vary from rolling back base state support for local public schools to 2008 levels, using buses longer and not funding sports coaches in education. Other cuts include five unpaid days off annually for state workers, closing five state parks and slashing a programs that aid the homeless and prevent teen pregnancies.
