(Richmond)- Governor Northam is proposing a one-time, one-percent bonus for state employees next December. The money would come from higher state revenues because of last year’s federal tax changes. The proposed bonus was part of his two-year budget plan introduced to the General Assembly money committees yesterday. Northam emphasized the need to invest in Virginia teachers with an additional two-percent pay raise in the summer of 2019.
