Our values as a Commonwealth are reflected in what is in those budgets -- or perhaps in what is left out. Michael Cassidy, President &amp;amp; CEO of The Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis, will share details about what is being proposed, focusing specifically on the implications for low- and moderate-income Virginians.  Of particular note is the potential for the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.
