Welcome to the '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 is a weekly thread 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. Also, please actually describe what happened. "I live in X, you know what happened" isn't helpful to users and will be removed.

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.

I lead a team of reporters in Washington who cover investigations, law and criminal justice – big issues in the Trump administration. My reporting has exposed shortcomings in how police pursue fugitives, exposed secret surveillance and highlighted misconduct within the Justice Department. I'm also a lawyer in Virginia.
