Real world consequences and anxiety showing now in Virginia… after the state Senate decided not to lift steep cuts on a program that provides educational benefits to family members of veterans. The House of Delegates voted to lift the cuts… but so far the Senate is deadlocked.
Here we go…Fix VMSDEP now! @GovernorVA

The VA Senate is really putting the “We are not Congress” theory to the test today. 80 minutes after the Senate was scheduled to start, they have accomplished nothing other than eating a ton of ice cream cones on the floor.
@TrevorEMetcalfe In my little over a year covering this place, a few days stick out where dysfunction ruled the day, but no it is not usually like this. As @ReevesVA told reporters today, “We are not Congress.”
