LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — AFFORDABILITY Virginia lawmakers and those running for statewide office promised to save you money. But during the 60-day legislative session in Richmond, did they deliver? ABC 13 investigated the top legislative bills affecting your taxes, housing, wages, healthcare and energy bills. The results were not very encouraging, according to University of Lynchburg economist Gerald Prante. “They didn’t do much, I don’t think, in terms of affordability,” said Prante.
