VA Senate Update

Something is seriously afoot in the VA state senate right now.  Majority Democrats have called for back to back recesses in the last two hours.  Reports from the scene indicated something big is a foot, and the whips are out.  Let us know what you are hearing by replying to this post, or giving a tweet – the hash tag is #valeg.

UPDATE DEUX:  Virginia Virtucon tells us that the deal was in the works for 2 weeks, and fell apart in the closing minutes.
