RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe plans to propose a 2 percent raise for state employees when lawmakers return to Richmond on Monday for a special session in which they will try to pass a roughly $96 billion two-year budget.

McAuliffe spokesman Brian Coy said Sunday the raise would apply to virtually all full-time state employees and would go into effect in March 2015. Coy declined to say where the roughly $200 million for the raises would come from.
