Fascinating to hear this Republican state senator arguing for more industry regulation, and calling out big pharma campaign contributions to his peers as the road block. Perhaps time for Virginia to have some campaign finance restrictions??

Pressuring the legislature to kill SB994 (creating VADOC Ombudsman) is not how this should work—if the Governor wants it dead, he should veto it.
And the legislative branch should be much more careful about protecting its constitutionally-given powers, and not cede them to the executive branch.

Unanimous vote in Finance on Delegate Lopez
bill to give refundable tax credit (up to $300) for buying gun safety devices/safes. House budget has an amendment to cover expected fiscal impact, but Senate budget doesn't. So if this passes floor, will be part of budget negotiations.

House passes this budget, with corporate tax giveaways, Minority Leader Don Scott says "comes as a slap in the face to hard-working Virginians who are already stretched too thin. And as the GOP Senator across the hall stated, corporations aren't asking for these tax cuts."

Two budget amendments are rejected by the House on 51-48 party-line votes. One prohibits state money being used to restrict reproductive choice. The other allows Medicaid funds to be used for abortions for pregnancies where severe fetal abnormalities are present.

I love how the GOP House budget drafter says Virginia is in good financial position thanks to sensible decisions by the legislature through tough recent times due to COVID-19. I *think* what he means is #ThanksJoeBiden and the Democratic majority in Congress.

Original author of VADOC Ombudsman bill Delegate Patrick Hope moves to report Senator Dave Marsden bill, saying "This is a $1.5 billion agency that oversees 10s of 1000s of lives, plus those working there. All that oversight [VADOC testified] they have, it's NOT WORKING, it's not enough."

Senate Finance and Appropriations kills House version of corporate tax giveaway and business interest deduction; and top tax bracket tax cut.

Senate passes on a bipartisan vote, bill to end the use of solitary confinement in VA correctional facilities. This bill does not quite match the House version, which passed unanimously yesterday. It is somewhat broader I believe. But there is at least support to pass something.
