IN THE NEWS:
Delegate Don Scott has become the new Speaker of the House--the first Black Speaker in Virginia's history. And his election came alongside several new Committee Chairs that could mean big changes in the balance of power in Richmond.
House Majority Leader Charniele Herring has introduced a constitutional amendment to change the restoration of voting rights for people convicted of felonies--making it automatic, rather than dependent on the Governor's will. And it seems there's some bipartisan energy behind the effort.
Governor Youngkin says he wants to get rid of the car tax--but he didn't put it in his legacy budget proposal. It doesn't seem likely to happen, but the issue may serve as a rhetorical win in upcoming elections .
TRIVIA: When the official portrait of Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax is added to the Senate Chamber, whose portrait will be removed?
At the Watercooler:
- Activate Virginia is making a FOIA request to learn more about the high school graduation shooting in Richmond. For some reason, the state is fighting it.
- GA Staffers say the emails they're receiving about the Arena deal are overwhelmingly negative.
