Virginia lawmakers averted a shutdown in the commonwealth by agreeing to, and passing into law, a budget for the state after gridlock earlier in the year.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) signed a budget into law on Monday that compromised with Democratic leadership in the state House and Senate. Youngkin was able to prevent any increases to taxes, while Democrats were able to secure boosts to education funding, among other items in the two-year budget.
