Emotions ran high in the House of Delegates late Wednesday evening as HB 2519 – the Campus Self Defense Act – came to the floor after a day of procedures that took it off and then back on the House’s active calendar. We recap the night’s action, and we take a special look at foster care.
Senior Statehouse Reporter Dave Mistich joins host Suzanne Higgins to discuss the magnitude of debate that occurred in the House of Delegates over the campus carry bill.
SB 348, which passed out of the Senate Wednesday, would raise the age to sell or purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21.
