IN THE NEWS: Sen. Ghazala Hashmi (D-Chesterfield) wants to stop colleges from blocking the release of transcripts to students who owe them money. The practice has forced over 50,000 Virginians to retake classes or fail to qualify for jobs despite having the necessary credentials.

Sen. Chap Petersen (D-Fairfax) wants to ban public utilities from making political contributions. The bill failed, but is there a better policy?

Glenn Youngkin got heckled in an Alexandria City Safeway for failing to wear a mask during a pandemic. With the governor choosing to endanger vulnerable constituents, that prompted one resident to shout "read the room," spawning a meme that could last a while.


INTERVIEW: Stella Pekarsky, Chair of the Fairfax County School board, and Laura Jane Cohen, Springfield District. What is a privilege walk and why should kids do one in school?
