The Virginia House and Senate have some work to do on the budget.
State revenues are $4.2 billion short, and legislators have until March 13th, the final day of this legislative session, to cover the shortfall.
Gov. Bob McDonnell proposed sweeping cuts, but the axe fell on different programs in each legislative chamber this week.
A politically active group called "The Virginia Organizing Project offered its own solution Thursday -- bake sales.
Coalition members raised $100 in Abingdon, and more than $900 at a total of 10 locations statewide. They plan to present that money to Gov. McDonnell's office in the form of a large novelty check.
