** Virginia Democrats, Thrilled With Biden Victory, Aren’t Looking for Carbon Copy ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By REID J. EPSTEIN, New York Times (Metered Paywall - 1 to 2 articles a month)

Katherine White spent countless hours this year organizing voters to back Joseph R. Biden Jr. for president. One of millions of suburban women who became politically active for the first time after Donald J. Trump’s election in 2016, Ms. White is among the coterie of Biden voters processing his victory by thinking about what comes next. She will not have to wait long — Virginia’s 2021 governor’s contest is already underway, with three major Democratic candidates declared and two more planning to enter the race as soon as next week.

** Bill To Limit Governor’s Authority During State Of Emergency Reintroduced ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By JESSICA WETZLER, Daily News Record (Metered Paywall - 5 articles a month)

Virginia has been under a state of emergency due to COVID-19 for 257 days. During that time, Gov. Ralph Northam has carried the ability to issue executive orders as the director of emergency management — a power defined under the Code of Virginia. Since Northam took office in January 2018, he has issued 71 executive orders, according to the governor’s website. Of those orders issued in 2020, 23 out of 27 have been issued under the state of emergency declared on March 12.

** Record ABC sales: Bottoms up for the bottom line ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By JOANNE KIMBERLIN, Virginian-Pilot (Metered Paywall - 2 articles a month)

The bad news: We’re drinking more. The good news: We’re drinking more. Record sales at Virginia’s state-run liquor stores helped save the commonwealth’s pandemic-bruised budget, adding $545.3 million to the kitty, a $45.8 million increase from the year before. And that’s just through the end of June, the close of the last fiscal year.

** In a shrinking part of Southside Virginia, VDOT is still planning a highway expansion ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By WYATT GORDON, Virginia Mercury

Highway expansion is often pitched as necessary to combat congestion for a growing population. For opponents, that makes the Virginia Department of Transportation’s planned Martinsville Southern Connector — a $745 million, 7.4-mile highway expansion in a shrinking corner of the state — all the more perplexing. “This project goes against everything this administration, the Commonwealth Transportation Board and VDOT say they’re doing,” said Trip Pollard, a senior attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center.

** Maryland and Virginia nursing homes battle explosive covid-19 outbreaks — again ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By REBECCA TAN AND RACHEL CHASON, Washington Post (Metered Paywall - 3 articles a month)

The second wave has reached the region’s most vulnerable. Amid soaring coronavirus caseloads in Maryland, Virginia and D.C., some nursing homes have begun to report explosive new outbreaks of the novel coronavirus among residents and staff, affirming the worst fears of family members and health officials. Despite stringent shutdown measures in place since March, widespread community transmission has allowed the highly contagious virus to creep back into facilities through asymptomatic employees, threatening the elderly residents most at risk of dying.

------------------------------------------------------------

By GORDON RAGO, Virginian-Pilot (Metered Paywall - 2 articles a month)

** Pandemic threatens to close a South Richmond clinic Black and Latino residents depend on ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By SABRINA MORENO, Richmond Times-Dispatch (Metered Paywall - 7 articles a month)

Maria Julia Cruz ruffled her purple-streaked hair while clutching a plastic Food Lion bag that contained the medicine keeping her alive. One bottle for her high blood pressure. Another for low blood sugar. Eye drops for her glaucoma. On a recent afternoon, healthcare workers checked her temperature before Cruz entered the clinic that has provided the insulin needed to control her diabetes for over two years -- the clinic that never shut down in a pandemic that’s threatened healthcare for those who needed it most.

By PETER VIETH, Virginia Lawyers Weekly (Subscription required for some articles)

Four attorneys have been named to district court judgeships left unfilled after the end of the 2020 General Assembly session. Five district bench seats remain vacant, according to the Supreme Court’s administrative office. Two of the appointments went to delegates. Del. Joe Lindsey, D-Norfolk, was appointed Nov. 10 to that city’s general district bench. He replaces Clark Daugherty, who retired earlier this year, according to The Virginian-Pilot. Del. Chris Collins, R-Frederick County, resigned from the House in June to accept appointment as a general district judge in the 26th District.

** Virginia’s push to legalize marijuana faces equity obstacles ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By BRANDON SHILLINGFORD, VCU Capital News Service

Could legalizing marijuana in Virginia help address social disparities and inequities? That’s one of the topics the state’s legislative watchdog agency explores in a new report examining how the commonwealth could legalize marijuana. The Joint Legislative Audit & Review Commission report was published shortly before Gov. Ralph Northam announced he will support legislation to legalize marijuana in the Old Dominion.

** Del. Lee Carter calls for Virginia to use marijuana taxes to fund reparations ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By DANIEL BERTI, Prince William Times

Del. Lee Carter is calling on Virginia lawmakers to devote all future tax revenue from the sale of legalized cannabis products to reparations for Black and Indigenous Virginians and to establish a “Governor’s Commission on Reparations” to guide the process. Last week, Gov. Ralph Northam announced his support for legalizing cannabis after a report by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC) projected that legalization could bring in up to $300 million in new state tax revenue annually. The report also found that Black Virginians have been arrested and convicted for marijuana offenses at much higher rates than white Virginians.

** Three fellow GOP senators rebuke Chase over her 'hate' statements about Virginia Democrats ([link removed])

By ANDREW CAIN, Richmond Times-Dispatch (Access to this article limited to subscribers)

Three fellow Republican state senators took to social media to rebuke Sen. Amanda Chase, a GOP candidate for governor, for charging that Virginia Democrats “hate white people” and are seeking the Richmond registrar’s ouster because she is white. Sen. Mark Obenshain, R-Rockingham, tweeted on Monday: “I’ve been repeatedly asked to comment on Amanda Chase’s most recent offensive statements, as reported on Sunday in the RTD. Quite honestly, I just don’t have the time to address every crazy thing she says. It would be a full time job.”

WAVY-TV

A Virginia Beach attorney who has been periodically involved in the controversy surrounding the Confederate monument in Portsmouth has announced his intent to run for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. Attorney and gun shop owner Tim Anderson announced Monday he plans to run against Democrat and incumbent Del. Nancy Guy, who won the seat in late 2019 after a recount gave her a 41-vote margin over Republican Chris Stolle.

** Virginia Lawmakers Could Run for Two Seats at Once ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By BEN PAVIOUR, WCVE-FM

At least five Democrats and two Republicans in Virginia’s House of Delegates are running for higher office. But that doesn’t mean they’re out of a job if they lose. Virginia law allows candidates in statewide primaries to simultaneously run for their House seats. The rules matter because Republicans need to flip six seats to retake the House.

U.S. Sen. David Perdue, one of Georgia’s two incumbent Republican senators who are facing a Jan. 5 election runoff that will determine the balance of power in the Senate, made profitable purchases of shares in Lynchburg-based nuclear fuel supplier BWX Technologies Inc. — the Navy’s sole nuclear fuel provider — just before Perdue took over chairmanship in 2019 of the Senate subcommittee overseeing the Navy fleet, according to reports.

Backers of the planned Hard Rock Bristol Hotel & Casino have expressed their intent to host a temporary gaming site in part of the Bristol Mall — possibly as soon as late next year — while much of the planned $400 million makeover occurs elsewhere on the property.

Virginia Beach Sheriff Ken Stolle is among those who have been appointed to a state commission tasked with again investigating the Virginia Beach mass shooting, which ended with 13 people dead and four others seriously injured in May of 2019. The selection of Stolle, whose office responded to the shooting as it unfolded, by the Senate Rules Committee drew some strong criticism. Del. Kelly Convirs-Fowler, D-Virginia Beach, called it “a clear conflict of interest,” saying no one who worked with local law enforcement when the shooting happened should be on the commission.

Roanoke Times Editorial (Metered Paywall - 5 articles a month)

In 2016, Virginians voted on a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would have enshrined the long-standing ban on compulsory union membership, better known as “right-to-work.” The measure was pushed by Republicans, who perhaps saw the day when they’d no longer control the General Assembly and wanted to make it difficult for a future Democratic majority to repeal the law. Virginians voted down the amendment by a narrow margin — 53% to 47%.
