“Session” begins January 10:
It is not too early to start reviewing the bills which have been pre-filed, determining which committees they are assigned to, and reading bills of interest in full. The number of pre-filed bills available to review will grow as they are processed. The Index on the Legislative Information Services gives a quick look at the Topic of a bill a one or two line description and the sponsor. The Cumulative Index is at the bottom of the list on the right. While on the site, click around to see what else might tickle your fancy.

George. Last year over 1200 back packs filled with school supplies were distributed. In addition there was a petting zoo, therapy dogs, snacks, children’s activities, and other enjoyable things were going on at the event. At our booth we will not only have school supplies to put into the children’s bags, we will have any campaign literature provided to us and we will be located next to Rebecca Colaw’s booth. We will need PG Dems to help manage the booth, perhaps register voters, and provide information on the Restoration of Rights (RoR). We will have a sign-up sheet at the meeting on Thursday night.
Both Democratic candidates for the 62nd Virginia House of Delegates district spoke. Sheila Bynum-Coleman and Tavorise Marks are the two contenders. Bynum-Coleman was the Democratic candidate in the last election and took 40 something percent of the vote. Marks has run before in 62nd primaries and brings military experience to his desire to serve.
