IN THE NEWS:

High Times: When session ended their session last month, the General Assembly sent the governor a bill to crack down on the kind of products with THC available at smoke shops and gas stations. One of the Governor's recent amendments seems aimed at making sure CBD products were not excluded in the process.

Radioactive Politics: With all the talk of renewable energy in recent years, the General Assembly is now considering a clean source of energy that is not renewable: nuclear energy. While small modular reactors are still in the research phase, they could represent a promising energy future as long as nuclear waste is accounted for.

Towing the Line: Governor Youngkin is signing a bill that will help people whose cars have been towed. Currently some operators prohibit people from having access to the stuff that's in the car without paying a fee--things like laptops, car seats, and even life-saving medicine. That new bill will go into effect on July 1.

At the Watercooler:

- Former Governor Terry McAuliffe is endorsing Destiny Bolling for the House District 80 seat recently vacated by Lamont Bagby.
- Some interesting races for Commonwealth's Attorney in Fairfax and Loudoun, as incumbents in both counties are facing primary challengers.
