Episode notes

Why is Speaker of the Virginia House Don Scott trying to call a special session of the Virginia General Assembly? The story is that they are going to try and redistrict the Commonwealth’s 11 Congressional districts. Small problem, that Constitutional Amendment that was passed in 2020 establishing first a ‘bipartisan redistricting commission’ and in the event of that failing (which it did) turning redistricting over to the Virginia Supreme Court to name two special masters that would draw the districts.

Virginia Delegate Tom Garret sits down with us to tell us what the long and short term agenda appears to be.
