Many Republicans argued that a farther-reaching plan could be attained by delving into the budget rather than being hemmed in by the $70.7 million Revenue Reserve Fund.
Even Lt. Gov. Douglas L. Wilder, calling for fairness and equity said, “If we want to reach everybody, we’re not going to be able to stick to the Revenue Reserve. I think there are some projects in the Capitol Improvement Plan that aren’t immediate concerns.”
House Minority Leader Del. Raymond R. (Andy) Guest Jr. was one of 10 delegates who voted against the conferees' programs. “I felt that if they wanted to give the equivalent of $10,000 as a subtraction, better to apply to everybody across the board,” said Guest.
“(The plan) does not give relief to those people in the private sector who are in a non-approved plan. The people in retirement are making more money than many of the people I represent.” Guest added.
Despite the dissatisfaction with the plan, more than half the Republican delegates voted in favor of the bill that passed the House, 81-16.
