Roanoke Mayor David Bowers says the budget impasse in Richmond is not likely to have a significant impact on the city’s own budget planning — at least not now. He says there are guidelines municipalities can employ to help predict how much state money will come in once there is a budget agreement in Richmond. Bowers supports Governor McAuliffe’s efforts to expand Medicaid in Virginia, an issue that has led to the budget deadlock. WFIR’s Evan Jones has the story.
