Possible Bad News About Senate Courts of Justice

VSSA will be watching the make-up of the Senate Courts of Justice in these early days of the Session. Both Ken Stolle and Ken Cuccinelli are no longer on the committee. Rumor has it rather than filling the slots with one Republican and one Democrat (the Majority is entitled to an additional seat under proportional representation with the loss of the Cuccinelli set) talk is they may throw the proportional representation out the window and put two less than friendly Democrats on the committee.

Should this come to fruition, it could spell doom for a number of bills being introduced, not least of which would be repeal of the Restaurant Ban, and could breath new life into the gun show bill.
