RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe vetoed a pair of bills Friday that would have prevented him from asking for political donations from companies seeking loans or grants from a state economic development fund.
The bills passed with unanimous support from both chambers of the General Assembly. They would have limited donations from companies seeking money from the Governor’s Development Opportunity Fund, a $35 million pot that can be used to help attract businesses to Virginia.
