| The "What happened in your state last week?" Megathread, Week 1. Posted: 02 Jan 2017 11:59 AM PST Happy New Year, /r/politics! Welcome to the first 'What happened in your state last week' thread, where you can post any local political news stories that you find important in the comments. This will be a weekly thread to be posted every Monday, in order to facilitate more discussion on local issues on /r/politics. Since this is intended to be a thread about local politics, top-level comments that are exclusively about national issues will not be allowed. When commenting, please include the state you're living in, and don't forget to link sources. If someone from your state made a news round-up that you think is insufficient, feel free to comment to that round-up with further news stories. Enjoy discussion, and review our civility guidelines before engaging with others. submitted by /u/optimalg [link] [comments] |
