IN THE NEWS:
Members of the Senate are considering a bill that would allow Virginia's sixth casino, in Fairfax County. Some legislators say they're hearing strong negative feelings from constituents.

Senator Creigh Deeds has introduced a bill to ban assault weapons in Virginia, and it's now on the floor of the Senate Finance Committee. Unsurprisingly, that's receiving some pushback as well--and this type of will hasn't had a great track record in the state legislature.

Members of the Senate are still considering what a marijuana marketplace would look like in Virginia. Advocates say it'll take revenue away from cartels and bring it to the state, but the Governor seems like a hard no on marijuana.

TRIVIA: Which Senate Republican broke the rules last week by using a prop on the Senate floor?

At the Watercooler:
- Is Virginia going to have a Super Tuesday primary that's even worth going to, or will both Presidential nominations already be in the bag?
- The Arena Deal continues to plague Michael--as does the lack of hard answers on the claims of economic development.
