"Well there's a lot of people who say we'd like to see this in the budget, we'd like to see that in the budget," Delegate Wendell Walker (R-23rd District) said. "So, we're trying to work through those priorities the governor as well as the house has established and funding those. And making sure we keep taxes low enough that people can afford to live here."

State Senator Mark Peake (R-22nd District) wants to make sure some of that money is designated for public safety.
