RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Gov. Bob McDonnell is claiming that Virginia
state government ended its fiscal year in June with a nearly $450
million surplus.
That includes savings from state operations
totaling $187 million as of June 30. The administration had already
announced a revenue surplus of $129 million.
State employees will get a one-time bonus of three percent, the Governor confirmed.
Savings
were bolstered by an unusually large amount of general fund
appropriations from state-supported colleges and universities. Seventy
percent of the total savings came from higher education.

RICHMOND, VA. (AP) - Two Virginia government officials say state agencies saved enough money through the first half of 2012 to give state employees year-end bonuses.
Gov. Bob McDonnell will announce operational savings easily exceeding $100 million Wednesday morning to the General Assembly's budget-writing committees.
Officials knowledgeable about the final savings total said the savings significantly eclipsed the $77 million to $80 million needed to provide the one-time 3 percent bonus in December.
The officials spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting the governor's address and would not provide the exact total of the savings.
A previously announced revenue surplus of $129 million plus the agency savings mean Virginia government will boast an unspent balance for the third year in a row.
