RICHMOND, Va. — Gov. Bob McDonnell says Virginia ended the last fiscal year with a surplus of nearly $545 million.

McDonnell disclosed the new figure Thursday in a speech to the General Assembly’s money committees. Last month, the governor said Virginia ended the year with a $311 million surplus. The new figure reflects state agency savings and agency balances that were not reflected in the previous amount.

McDonnell announced that he will allocate $30 million of the surplus to a new reserve fund he’s asking the legislature to create to help the state deal with future federal spending cuts. The economies of northern Virginia and Hampton Roads are particularly dependent on federal spending.

The biggest chunk of the surplus, $133 million, will be deposited into the state’s rainy day fund.

Hmm, my post did not refer to anyone being said pig. So how can the post be a personal (ad-hominem) attack?

Here is a personal observation:, some people might even call it an attack: You are not nearly as smart a you think you are. Loosen up![/quote]

[quote=justme]Very well put, Brian. There’s a saying that goes,

“Don’t wrestle with pigs. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it”.

My corollary: If you are going to wrestle with pigs, don’t bother trying to do it cleanly. You will loose and the pigs won’t respect you anyway.[/quote]

Sounds related to the saying I’ve often heard:

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Not implying anything here, the quoted post just reminded me of the saying.
