Source: Richmond Times-Dispatch
Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Ken Cuccinelli are sparring over their economic plans, education and transportation during the final gubernatorial debate, under way at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.
"His plan is like believing he came here on a unicorn tonight," McAuliffe said of Cuccinelli's proposed $1.4 billion in tax cuts.
Cuccinelli said he is "the only candidate with ... a real plan," saying his proposal would grow 58,000 new jobs.
The attorney general said McAuliffe has proposed more than $3.5 billion in new spending and that his proposals would result in a $1,700 tax increase for each Virginia family.
