Henrico plans 8.2% pay raise for county, school employees
Henrico County Manager John Vithoulkas is proposing an 8.2% merit-based pay raise for Henrico County general government and school system employees – the largest comprehensive increase in more than three decades – as part of his proposed $1.15-billion Fiscal Year 2023-24 general fund budget.
Deputy County Manager for Administration Brandon Hinton announced the proposal Tuesday during a meeting with county employees at the county’s Public Utilities Operations Center on Woodman Road in Glen Allen.
Assembly fails to pass child tax credit plan, despite public support, success
Legislation that would establish a tax credit for families with children failed to pass the General Assembly this session, despite public support and a record of reducing child poverty.
As a part of COVID-19 pandemic relief, the American Rescue Plan Act expanded the federal child tax credit, which benefitted about 1.6 million children in Virginia and reduced national child poverty to a record low. Congress allowed the reformed credit to expire at the end of 2021, but there have been ongoing efforts to reinstate it.
