Budget Holdups in VA Counties

The Washington Post Express reported on Monday, November 10, 2008 that Loudon County is suspending 22 projects that would have been dedicated to capital improvements such as work on roads, libraries, and community centers.  The justification behind the suspension was a fear of a lingering $176 million dollar gap in the budget.

Just yesterday on the Arlington Virginia Network, I read a scroll across the bottom of the television screen that relayed from County Budget Manager Ron Carvee that Arlington is facing a $14 million dollar budget gap.

How do budget gaps affect SEEC’s funding?
