Some funny & cool changed in the Dem controlled Virginia General Assembly

I was talking today with someone who is at the General Assembly everyday during this 60 day session.

First, she said it's the most fun and relaxed House session she's ever seen. The Dems haven't had
Leadership positions in 20+ years and they've had some management problems but the spirit is free wheeling. Republicans are resigned to their lack power and are actually enjoying their time in Richmond.

At the bottom of the rules, it's traditionally read "The use of the pronoun 'He' should be understood to include 'She' and neutral". The rules now read, "The use of the word 'She' should be understood to include 'He' and neutral".

At a debate about a bill banning teens from using tanning beds, two female Representatives (of color) spoke, jokingly:
"What if a young person wants to reach this (waving her hands over herself) beautiful color of their skin?"

Then....

"What if a young person seeks to attain the skin hue of Jesus Christ?"

My contact said they've submitted 3,000 bills. The confusion at the beginning was understandable since no one there has had any leadership experience. "Cross over" day is only 10 days away.
