Last update: 11 hours ago

Dominion–NextEra Merger: Gov. Abigail Spanberger says she’ll formally intervene in the proposed $67B Dominion Energy deal, pushing the State Corporation Commission to answer questions about affordability, long-term savings, and impacts on Virginia’s workforce. Public Health Education: Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University’s Joint School of Public Health has earned full accreditation, enabling degrees across public health, environmental health, and a Ph.D. in health services research. K-12 Policy: Albemarle County adopted modest changes to its grading policy after pushback from teachers, students, and parents over how day-to-day rules affected outcomes. Federal Education Flexibility: The Education Department is granting more states waivers to consolidate federal dollars and loosen requirements, including South Dakota, as the administration continues shifting control to states. Electric Air Taxis: A look at whether eVTOL air taxis are truly ready for passengers in 2026, noting certification progress but limited real-world service. Mosquito Control Innovation: A new residential program plans to release 600,000 male tiger mosquitoes using Wolbachia to curb dengue risk, including after Virginia’s first locally acquired case. Data Center Backlash: Coverage highlights growing public opposition to data centers, with concerns about energy costs, water use, noise, and property impacts—especially in Virginia. Press Freedom: A judge clarified Catherine Herridge doesn’t have to keep paying $800-per-day contempt fines while her First Amendment appeal heads to the Supreme Court.
