The legislature barely approved bills in February to legalize marijuana and set up a system for retail sales in 2024, with Democrats hoping Northam would send back changes to address various concerns. The Democrat-controlled General Assembly approved several other amendments to the massive marijuana legalization legislation during a one-day session Wednesday to take up the governor’s recommended changes to bills. “There’s a straightforward injustice to punishing someone for something we agreed should be legal,” said House Majority Leader Charniele Herring, D-Alexandria.

Ralph Northam and other Democratic leaders, to choose a law firm to investigate how and why allegations of wrongdoing at the parole board were not included in one state watchdog report last year. The cost could be up to $250,000.
