As astute readers may have noticed, the Cheap Seats have been relocated to Richmond for the day.
Both the Senate and House of Delegates are abuzz with activity, as we've officially arrived at U-Haul week on Capitol Square -- the week where legislators are working as fast as possible to get their work for the session done, and then pack it up and get out of town.
But there are a few bumps in the road on the way to Interstate 95. Some in both Senate and House are bucking to try to fix last year's transportation plan, which was effectively nuked out of existence by the Virginia Supreme Court on Friday.
Del. Bob Marshall, R-Manassas, asked his colleagues to introduce a bill that would do just that early this afternoon, but was turned down cold. Legislators may well wrap up their budget work this week and get out of town. But the smart money says it'd be a mistake to leave the moving truck running.
