CLICK HERE to listen to episode audio (5:04).Sections below are the following: Transcript of Audio Audio Notes and Acknowledgments ImagesExtra InformationSourcesRelated Water Radio Episodes For Virginia Teachers (Relevant SOLs, etc.). Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 1-6-23. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of January 9 and January 16, 2023. MUSIC – ~12 sec – instrumental. That's part of “Falls of Richmond,” by Timothy Seaman of Williamsburg, Va.  The falls on the James River at Richmond are a notable geographicfeature of Virginia's capital city.  A relatively short distance from those turbulent sections of the James is one of the city's most notable humanfeatures, the State Capitol building, home of the Virginia General Assembly.  This episode is our annual overview of the General Assembly, which this year convenes on January 11 and is scheduled to adjourn on February 25.  To start, have a listen to the music for about 30 more seconds, and see if you know the General Assembly connection to the following numbers: 405, 2 and 4, 51 and 47, 21 and 19, and, last, about 163 billion. MUSIC – ~31 sec – instrumental. Here are the answers: This year will be the 405th consecutive sessions of the General Assembly started it as the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1619. House of Delegates members are elected for 2 year terms, and Senate members are elected for 4 year terms. The current House of Delegates has 51 Republicans and 47 Democrats, with two seats to be filled by upcoming special elections.  [1-10-23 addition, not in audio: Special elections to fill those House seats were held on January 10, 2023.] The current Senate has 21 Democrats and 19 Republicans.  [1-10-23 correction, not in audio: As of December 31, 2022, the Senate had only 18 Republicans, after Sen. Jennifer Kiggans, representing Virginia's 7th Senatorial District, resigned to take a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.  A special election to fill that Senate seat was held on January 10, 2023.] And finally, the Commonwealth's current two-year budget is about $163 billion dollars; proposed changes to that budget will be a big part of the work of the 2023 session. Besides the budget, the Assembly typically considers two-to-three thousand other bills and resolutions.  In recent years about 150 to 200 of those measures have related to water resources, either directly through impacts on aquatic environments, water supplies, or other water uses, or indirectly through impacts on energy or land uses that, in turn, affect water.  The budget also affects water, particularly through funding of natural resource-related departments, such as Conservation and Recreation, Environmental Quality, Wildlife Resources, and the Marine Resources Commission. Action on measures involves sub-committees, full committees, and floor debate.  Passed bills go to the governor for approval, veto, or proposed changes, and bills with a governor's veto or proposed changes return to the Assembly for further consideration during a reconvened session in April.   All along the way, citizens, interest groups, and other stakeholders vie to have a say through information and opinions.  You can join in by following the Assembly's work and by communicating with your local delegate or senator about issues of concern.  Tools to help you do so are available online at virginiageneralassembly.gov. Thanks to Timothy Seaman for permission to use this week's music, and we close with about 20 more seconds of “Falls of Richmond.” MUSIC – ~20 sec – instrumental.

Senate Minority Leader Gina Walsh returns to Politically Speaking to talk with St. Louis Public Radio’s Jason Rosenbaum about Gov. Mike Parson’s first year in office, as well as the lay of the land for organized labor. The Bellefontaine Neighbors Democrats represents Missouri’s 13th Senatorial District, which takes in a portion of north St. Louis County. Walsh will leave the Senate after 2020 because of term limits, completing a 16-year legislative tenure that began in the early 2000s. As minority leader, Walsh is often the spokeswoman and chief negotiator for the 10-person Democratic caucus. While Democrats are heavily outnumbered in the Missouri Senate, they often have a lot more power to make a mark on major bills because of the state’s tradition of a strong filibuster.

Sen. Jill Schupp returns to Politically Speaking to talk about the aftermath of the 2019 legislation session, which saw passage of a ban on abortion after eight weeks of pregnancy and other aspects of Gov. Mike Parson’s workforce development agenda. The Creve Coeur Democrat is serving her second term in the Missouri Senate. The 24th Senatorial District includes St. Louis County cities like Creve Coeur, Town and Country, Maryland Heights, Olivette and Ladue. During the 2019 session, Schupp alternated between handling pieces of legislation that got to Parson’s desk — and trying to either stop or force compromise on GOP priority legislation. For instance: Schupp ended up passing what’s known as Nathan’s Law, which restricts capacity at in-home daycares. Schupp also was a key participant in debate over the abortion legislation, which also bars the procedure except for medical emergencies if Roe v. Wade is overturned. Senate Democrats chose not to filibuster the final legislation after hours of negotiations.

Sen. Joe Markley, represents the 16th Senatorial District. Bob Stefanowski, ex-GOP Governor Candidate. They discuss the toll rally that happened over the weekend at  the State Capitol.

*Recorded before Hawaii volleyball lost to Long Beach State :-(* Happy early Mother's Day to all the mamas and mamacitas out there! It's time for some more of that sweet podcast magic you've grown accustomed to: our favorite rants about Joe Biden, Indonesia moving its capital city before it falls into the ocean (definitely nothing to worry about in Honolulu, right?) and cute animal stories from around the world. Plus, it's easy to get lost in the 2020 speculation and madness (trust us, we do it all the time) but don't forget -- there are elections happening THIS YEAR! Our guest (at 22:30) is the wonderful Amanda Pohl, a chaplain and healthcare worker who is running to unseat an extreme right-wing nutjob incumbent in Virginia's 11th Senatorial District. Hear about her strong pro-woman, pro-family, pro-education, and pro-healthcare platform, the hopeful rise of the religious left, and why we need to focus on more than just who occupies the Oval Office. PS: Shoutouts to our friend Kimiko LaHaela Walter of YPDA, Japan's Emperor Emeritus Akihito, John John Florence, and Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, and much aloha to former world surfing champion Sunny Garcia. Like, tag, share, and stay tuned for more!

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast series Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by State Senator Daylin Leach.   Daylin Leach, a former attorney, is State Senator in Pennsylvania’ 17th Senatorial District and is running for Congress in the 7th Congressional District. State Senator Leach is known for being one of the most liberal members of the Pennsylvania Legislature and he is proud of that distinction.   In our discussion today, we talk about gerrymandering in our country and what it means for voters. State Senator Leach explains “packing and cracking,” which are the two ways a district can be gerrymandered. “Packing” he explained, is when all one parties voters are stuffed into one district so that party has an overwhelming majority. This leaves less of that party’s voters in the other districts making it harder for them to win. “Cracking” on the other hand, is when one party tries to spread all of the other party’s voters out over many districts. This again, leaves fewer voters in each district.   In addition to gerrymandering, we also talk about the state of the opioid crisis in our country and the White House commission led by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. We talk about proposed solutions and break down what they are really proposing.   Join us for this intriguing conversation with the always controversial – and funny – State Senator Leach.   Remember to tune in every Friday for new episodes of Good Law | Bad Law!   Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Daylin Leach   Follow Freiwald Law: Twitter: @FreiwaldLaw Facebook: @FreiwaldLaw Youtube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @goodlawbadlaw Website: http://www.freiwaldlaw.com
