At this morning's state legislative town hall meeting at the Sleepy Hollow Elementary School, parents of students at Falls Church High School (FCHS) who've organized themselves into a group called "Uproar" were told by State Sen. Dick Saslaw that under current law, the decision on sanctioning a charter school remains in the hands of localities and that changing that would require a change in the state constitution. On the other hand, State Del. Kaye Kory, a former member of the Fairfax County School Board, was not so sure, noting that the Republican-controlled state legislature "is passing a lot of unconstitutional stuff these days."

At a press conference today, Virginia Democrats in the House of Delegates joined civil rights activists to protest against a "slew of bills aimed at making the voting process more difficult for voters who are older, more transient, or who may lack certain forms of identification due to social or economic status." Members of the Democratic caucus were jonied by U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott, Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones and Civil Rights Leader Dr. Benjamin Chavis. Two bills, HB 9 and HB, were among the targets of the Democrats. "Representatives from the State Board of Elections as well as members of the Privileges and Elections Committee have yet to produce a single instance of voter fraud in Virginia in which a vote is cast, under penalty of perjury, by someone by someone impersonating a legal voter, yet House Republicans continue to push restrictive measures that limit voter participation," the Democrats said in a statement.
