    Detainer Requests, Legislator Pay, and the Gambling Lobby

    LINKS: Pod Virginia | Patreon Learn more about Jackleg Media IN THE NEWS: Holding inmates longer than their release date is hard ask for many sheriffs, who say they won't be voluntarily holding people for 48 hours after their release date -- even if federal immigration officials request it for specific people. Now the Virginia Sheriffs Association is supporting legislation that removes discretion of the sheriffs and requires they work with federal immigration officials. Lobbying disclosures posted to the Virginia Public Access Project show that special interests in the gambling industry are hoping to strike it rich during the General Assembly session. In the last year, Pace-o-matic spent half a million dollars. Caesars spent $420,000. Churhill Downs spent $300,000. And MGM spent more than $200,000. Lawmakers are expected to consider legislation to legalize slot-machine style games at convenience stores and truck stops as well as new potential casino in Northern Virginia. If you're looking for a plan for lawmakers to get around their reluctance on voting for a pay raise, look to former Governor Jerry Baliles. In the late 1980s, he was able to secure a pay raise for members of the General Assembly by creating a blue-ribbon panel that could make the recommendation and take the heat for it.

    License Plate Readers, Parental Consent, and Shackled Justice

    LINKS: Pod Virginia | Patreon Learn more about Jackleg Media IN THE NEWS: License-plate readers will be on the agenda next month when the General Assembly gavels into session next month. Critics of surveillance-state politics worry about misidentification -- innocent people getting caught up in a high-tech frenzy. Back in 1997, then-governor George Allen signed a bill achieving a long-term goal of social conservatives. The new law required parental consent for minors seeking an abortion. Now former governor Allen says he worries that law will be eliminated by a constitutional amendment lawmakers will consider in January. The amendment has language guaranteeing abortion rights for "every individual" rather than "every adult." Advocates at Justice Forward Virginia are working on a bill that would require a judge to make an individual determination about whether a juvenile needs to be shackled  –  rather than allowing sheriffs to indiscriminately shackle every juvenile who appears before a judge.  TRIVIA: What was the name of the notorious Loudoun woman who poisoned her husband and children with arsenic?

    Prisoner Abuse, Predatory Loans, and Preliminary Ballots

    LINKS: Pod Virginia | Patreon Learn more about Jackleg Media IN THE NEWS: People who are incarcerated at the infamous Red Onion Supermax Prison in Wise County say conditions are so bad there that they are setting themselves on fire to protest conditions. Allegations include: racial epithets, physical abuse, medical neglect, solitary confinement, violent dog attacks, and inedible food with maggots. After a 2020 law cracking down on predatory lending, companies are now using "rent-a-banks" from out of state to charge massive interest rates on loans. The number of provisional ballots cast in this election was more than five times the number cast in the last election, an indication that same-day registration is an idea that's catching on. One thing all those many key locations had in common: college students. TRIVIA: Who was Henry Howell's campaign manager for his 1977 run for Governor? Learn more at http://linktr.ee/JacklegMedia
