The "What happened in your state last week?" Megathread, Week 18

Posted: 02 May 2017 08:38 AM PDT

Hi there, /r/politics! Due to a scheduling error on my part this thread wasn't posted yesterday. My apologies for that. Next week it will be on Monday again.


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.

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.
