Under new rules of the House of Delegates, effect come January’s session, they’ve limited their members to introducing 15 bills per person, 10 pre-filed and 5 after the session begins. Assuming that delegates remain within their self-enforced rules, compare last year’s 2,234 bills to a maximum of 1,500 this time around. That’s a 33% drop [...]

The Richmond Times-Dispatch is reporting that Councilwoman Kathy Graziano of the city's 4th council district has the votes to become the leader of the next city council. Says the RTD:
Graziano, one of three council members with interest in the position, said it's a very strong possibility that she'll get the two-year appointment in January, but she added, "We'll have to see how some things shake out."Graziano, a retired lobbyist who is starting her third term on the council, is "real even-handed," 9th District Councilman Douglas G. Conner Jr. said.
"She runs a tight meeting," 3rd District Councilman Chris A. Hilbert said. "I'm impressed that she'll lead us in the right direction."
Graziano has proven her ability and energy during her three terms on council and she will be a strong advocate for all parts of the city. Additionally I can't help but think that having a mayor and a city council president from south of the river is a good thing for an area that needs far more city attention.

In the greater Washington DC metropolitan area there is no more potent brand name than the Washington Redskins. But it goes further than that. For decades in our nation’s history, through the Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations - before most of the Baby Boomers had entered kindergarten - the Redskins were the preeminent “local” [...]
The stock market? No, the .500 or less records at Michigan, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Arkansas, Auburn, UCLA, and Texas A & M, with LSU, Clemson, and West Virginia not much better - doesn’t that sound like a list of the usual suspects from about 1950 to 2000?

The Politico is reporting the details of concessions to be made by former President Bill Clinton if Hillary Clinton is nominated and confirmed as Secretary of State. As we reported earlier, we believe that Senator Clinton is prohibited from holding this office or any other civil office based on Article 1, Section 6 of the Constitution:
No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time;
