From Richmond Times-Dispatch:
Legislators return to Richmond for one day Thursday to discuss congressional redistricting, but not much is expected to happen until next month.
Legislators from both parties say the House of Delegates and the state Senate will do little more Thursday than reject each other’s redistricting bills and send the bills to a committee of conference.
That will allow six legislators — three from each body — to hash out the considerable differences over the bills.
Del. S. Chris Jones, R-Suffolk, a key legislator in the redistricting process, said he hopes the negotiators can come up with a plan that both bodies could approve by mid-July.
