Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell vetoed four measures passed by the General Assembly this year and sent down 86 amendments to the state’s two-year budget plan, giving state lawmakers a bunch to chew on before they return to act on his proposals on April 6. McDonnell vetoed measures that would have mandated 150 minutes of physical education per week for K-8 students, likening it to an unfunded mandate on localities, and another that would increase the limit on medical malpractice awards from $2 million to $3 million over 20 years.

He also vetoed a measure that would have increased civil penalties issued by the Department of Environmental Quality and another that would allow the state’s water control board to fine people who withdraw more than a million gallons of water in a single month for crop irrigation if they don’t report the amount.
