“Jobs is still job one for our administration,” McDonnell said at a news conference on Capitol Square.
McDonnell (R) was joined by Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R), Virginia’s chief jobs creation officer, and a host of business leaders.
He will unveil other legislative proposals before the General Assembly returns next.
