IN THE NEWS:
The secretive plan to bring a sports arena to Alexandria is over--and the folks involved seem to be blaming everybody but themselves.

Back in December, Governor Glenn Youngkin proposed a new digital tax for consumers. If you bought a digital book, for example, you would have to pay the same sales tax as a hard copy book you got at the bookstore. Now the General Assembly is agreeing with the governor about consumers and adding businesses to the governor's proposal. 

"Cocktails-to-go" was one of the innovations of the pandemic. Now the governor is agreeing with lawmakers to allow the temporary fix to become permanent-- although the jury is still out on third-party vendors like DoorDash and Uber Eats.

TRIVIA: Which year did the cardinal become the state bird of Virginia?

At the Watercooler:
- Why is Governor Youngkin reviewing race-related education content at VCU and GMU?
- The Governor also vetoed a bill that would give the minimum wage to farm worker--which started as an explicitly racist Jim Crow-ear policy.
