Gladys, VA - Area democrat Tom Perriello is breaking with President Obama over the new Federal budget. The congressman stopped by Gladys Elementary School in Campbell County this morning. The school was on the chopping block, but Federal Stimulus money is keeping it open. Perriello supported the stimulus, but says the new budget does not go far enough in getting America's finances in order.

Rep. Tom Perriello, (D) Virginia - "I voted against the budget because I think we have to get our books in balance. And part of what got us into this crisis was debt, government debt, household debt, and private sector debt with the over leveraging of companies."

The U.S. House and Senate passed versions of the new budget plan, largely along party lines. Perriello was one of only a few Democrats to vote against it.
