I'm confident the House & Senate will reach an agreed budget when the Senate returns on June 22 - Virginians expect us to ensure everyone is fairly contributing to our state budget so we can grow our economy, create jobs, preserve our probusiness reputation and AAA bond rating
BREAKING: Elected officials from localities that have adopted collective bargaining sent a letter to Gov. Spanberger urging passage of the statewide measure expanding collective bargaining rights to nearly all state and local employees. Story to come. @CourthouseNews

Pete Alonso homered in his first game as an Oriole. Trevor Rogers and the pitchers tossed a three-hitter.
Baltimore is 1-0 and on pace to go 194-0 this season.
