Thank you to everyone who joined us last week at our Annual Legislative Breakfast. Nick Minock, Political Reporter with WJLA/ABC7News, moderated the panel of legislators which consisted of Senator Barbara Favola, and Delegates Patrick Hope and Alfonso Lopez. The legislators answered questions on a variety of topics, including transportation, infrastructure, and Arlington's office vacancy.

Following the panel discussion, Senator Barbara Favola presented Scott McGeary of Washington Gas with a General Assembly resolution recognizing his service to Arlington and to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The resolution was patroned by Senator Favola in the Senate, and a companion resolution from the House of Delegates was patroned by Delegate Hope.
