The "What happened in your state last year?" Megathread, 2017.

Hi there, /r/politics. Over the last year, I created the "What happened in your state last week?" megathreads every Monday, in order to better facilitate local political discussion on the subreddit. And it's been a resounding success: every week, users from all over the United States contributed to the thread, discussing local politics and giving an insight into how their state was being run. So with the end of 2017 in sight, I would like to give you all the opportunity to give /r/politics an insight into your state's most important political news stories last year. What was in your opinion the most important story coming from your state? Did you have any elections, scandals, important gatherings or other news? Feel free to tell us in the comments!

Since this is a thread intended for local politics, national news stories are not considered on topic, just like in the weekly threads. Comments about national news stories will therefore be removed. If you see a comment from your state, but you think another news story was important as well, feel free to reply to that comment with that news story. Also, please review our civility guidelines before engaging with others.

Finally, to look back on last year's local news threads, we've performed a little statistical analysis on all 52 threads we've had this year. You can find the data and some of the results here.

That's all. On behalf of the /r/politics modteam I'd like to wish you all a happy new year, and I hope to see you all tomorrow in the first "What happened in your state last week?" megathread of 2018.
