Virginia's Budget Failure, Marijuana Stalling, and Beanbag Policing
IN THE NEWS:
The new fiscal year has started, and there's still no budget amendments coming out of the General Assembly--which means no funding for any new laws, including the bipartisan mental health initiative passed last year. Plus, that $180 million hole in the education budget is still causing problems...and neither Republicans nor Democrats seem incentivized to blink or negotiate.
Fairfax County's police department has converted its store of largely-unused shotguns into less-lethal beanbag guns, meant to surprise and stun without killing the target. While that might mean safer encounters, it might also cause cops to be more likely to draw their weapon in an encounter.
At the Watercooler:
- Efforts to legalize marijuana in Virginia seem dead in the water
- Pod Virginia is now on Threads!
TRIVIA: Who led the raid on Richmond in January 1781?
