Update: Governor Bob McDonnell 85 billion dollar budget was voted on in both the House and Senate but there is some rejection with the final vote.
The balance of power has been decided in Virginia General Assembly and the power goes to the Republicans.
The new state Senate will include 20 seats for Republicans and 20 seats for Democrats, but Republican Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling, who presides over the senate, will break any tie vote. The GOP also controls the House of Delegates.
Governor Bob McDonnell is confident and said the Republican wins in Virginia are a “repudiation” of President Obama’s policies. The Republicans picked up six seats in the House of Delegates, giving the GOP the highest number of seats in the state House ever. According to Governor McDonnell, the Republican wins in the General Assembly gives the party momentum heading into the presidential election for 2012.
The local primaries minus the presidential primaries will be held on Tuesday, June 12, 2012. The General Election is Tuesday, November 6, 2012
