IN THE NEWS:
The AFL-CIO is opposing the proposed arena and entertainment district in the Potomac Yard area of Alexandria, dealing a major blow to legislation now under consideration at the state Capitol in Richmond. The labor groups say the developer should have entered into a labor agreement, adding that the existing bill is a bad deal for workers.
The right to abortion has been a flashpoint in Virginia politics ever since the United States Supreme Court eliminated constitutional protections. Wednesday, thousands of people came to Richmond to call for abortion rights to be rolled back or repealed altogether. Many of them were not interested in talking to the legacy media.
On Tuesday, the Senate of Virginia passed a bill to eliminate tax exempt status for Confederate heritage organizations. But until lawmakers pass a bill to remove Stonewall Jackson, he will continue to occupy a prominent spot facing the north entrance to the Capitol.
TRIVIA: When did Virginia impose the one term limit on governors?

At the Watercooler:
- Takeaways from Speaker Scott's Black and White Gala
- Reacting to WAMU firing 15 journalists on their DCist project and taking down the archive
