The "What happened in your state last week?" Megathread, Week 40

Posted: 02 Oct 2017 09:00 AM PDT

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.


Hi there, /r/politics. Due to today's shooting in Las Vegas, I would like to reiterate that this thread is intended for local political issues, not national news stories. Therefore, stories about the shooting will not be on topic in this thread. If you'd like to discuss this shooting or responses to it, you are free to do so in other threads. Thank you, and be safe.
