Today’s Appropriations Committee Briefing Canceled

February 17, 2012

With a lengthy debate expected on the floor of the House of Delegates today, the Appropriations Committee has indicated it will reschedule its day’s events, originally slated to include a review of a budget element known as “Payments to Civil Divisions of the State” and a briefing from local government officials.

For more information on the rescheduled budget hearing (and the staff proposal to restructure the disparity grant), see previous Conduit Street coverage.

Watch MACo’s Calendar Corner for updated information on the revised hearing schedule for these items.
