IN THE NEWS:
Democrats and Republicans are standing together in a rare bipartisan effort to get rid of legacy admissions in colleges and universities. But while the Governor has signaled his approval, his comments also suggest his dismissal of affirmative action.
A lot of Democratic priorities were cut from the budget, including paid sick days. Lawmakers say that's because the budget is tighter than Governor Youngkin's initial proposed budget let on.
School boards across Virginia might soon be out of luck if they want to ban books from their libraries, if a new bill from Senator Hashmi passes the legislature.
TRIVIA: Which member of the Virginia House of Delegates now ranks #1 in seniority? (Hint: he was elected in 1989)
At the Watercooler:
- Journalist Jeremy Lazarus will no longer be at the Richmond Free Press--and the larger dire straits of investigative journalism
- The prospective casino in Tyson's Corner is likely dead on arrival based on the signs from its first subcomittee meeting.
