RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- It appears that state employees are more likely to get their 3% bonus.

A budget amendment that would've made the bonus more difficult for state workers to get went down in the strongest way possible — a unanimous vote that effectively kills it.

The final vote left no doubt about it. At 95 to 0, the amendment barely stood a chance.

Del. Jennifer McClellan had been hearing the complaints.

"State employees sort of felt like they were smacked in the face," said McClellan (D-Richmond).

The idea — authored by Governor Bob McDonnell — was to tie a one-time 3% bonus exclusively to state savings instead of state revenues. But in order to qualify for the bonus, state agencies would've had to find millions in savings by the end of June.

Not enough time, said the unusually unified House of Delegates.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- A former city worker claims a failing city project could cost millions of your tax dollars.  And it's a program meant to save time and money. Now, several City Council members are calling for an audit.

The employee said he was fired for pointing out the problems and asked us to hide his identity.

It's an $18 million project meant to upgrade the city's computer systems. We're told it would help track and monitor the city's money and spending. It would also streamline services and make it more transparent.

In the State of the City, Mayor Dwight Jones called the computer project a "top priority". It also said it will, "streamline financial and administrative function and result in cost reductions." 

The man we interviewed was supposed to help put it in place.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- The President's support of same sex marriage is getting a lot of reaction here at home.

Jeff Wells and Mac Pence said their "I do's" in front of friends and family in 1999, then tied the knot, legally, 3 years ago in Boston.

"Jeff is the joy of my life and we're on, we're a family," said Mac Pence.

"Mac is the center of my world," said Jeff Wells.

Born and raised in the Commonwealth, the couple says they know Virginia — like North Carolina now — bans same sex marriage, but is thrilled to see the president taking a position on the issue.

"It was very validating of our identities...that certainly is historic and courageous on his part," said Wells.

It may be a bold move for the president, but according to political analyst Dan Palazzolo, this could mean a bigger battle in this already split state.
