The General Assembly convenes on January 10th, the 73rd Governor’s Inauguration will be held January 13th and already 675
pre-filed bills have come out of the GA's Division of Legislative Services.
We are off to a byzantine beginning – new governor, new secretary of education, new state superintendent, and as of January 4th, Republicans in the House of Delegates hold a slight majority; however, the new cast of young Democrats will be heard on the Floor of the House and in committees. The Democratic sweep in the November election resulted in the decimation of the House Education Committee. We are anxious to see who will become the newest committee members.
