Jeff Schapiro reports that the General Assembly will be in a waiting game this morning as senators and delegates return to Richmond for a special session on transportation.
Democrats and Republicans in each chamber will spend the morning caucusing and plotting strategy before each chamber convenes at 1 p.m.
At least initially, all eyes will be on the House of Delegates. It is slated to take up a bill introduced by Sen. Richard L. Saslaw, which includes an increase in the gas tax of 1 cent per year for six years. Saslaw’s bill cleared the Senate earlier in the special session.
House Republicans are likely to kill the bill today but with all House seats up for election next year, they want to get House Democrats on the record voting on a gas-tax increase.
House Democrats hope to salvage Saslaw’s bill by stripping the gas-tax increase from the measure.
