IN THE NEWS: The Senate will vote this week on many of Gov. Younkin's nominees, including Andrew Wheeler for Secretary of Natural & Historic Resources. Senate Democrats are posturing to reject the nomination, but can their caucus stick together?
Also, some Republicans in the General Assembly want to prohibit the teaching of "inherently decisive concepts" in K-12 classrooms, after reports emerged of some students learning about social privilege via "privilege walks" and "privilege bingo." What does that mean and what are the chances of that and similar legislation passing?
INTERVIEW: This week's guest is Michael Town, the Executive Director of the Virginia League of Conservation Voters. He's got the scoop on efforts to ditch the Clean Economy Act, leave the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, and strip the Air Pollution Control Board of the power to regulate pollution.
