As the headline states, it is week two here under the gold dome, but it feels like it’s the final two weeks based on how long floor sessions are going, as well as the tone.
Already this week the House of Delegates passed two education reform bills, legislation dealing with states of emergency and federal disaster funding appropriation authority, and occupational licensing reform – all pretty big reforms.
Most of my time has been spent on the House side. Not to say that the state Senate isn’t doing important things, but it appears the House is doing the heavy lifting, especially on education reform. Considering both education savings accounts and expansive charter school bills have died in the House before, it makes sense to let the House work those bills first before heading to the state Senate where education reform has a friendlier audience.
