On The Legislature This Week, two senators tell us how the state needs to change its school funding, which has remained largely unchanged for decades. We also hear lawmakers discuss reforms to the state’s response to water crises.
We’ll hear about policing undocumented immigration in the state, including their illegal hiring by local businesses. And we’ll get a look at bills moving out of the House of Delegates, including funding for small businesses and a potential ban on lab-grown meat.
