Senator Toddy Puller (D-Fairfax) fell last weekend and fractured her elbow. She is 70 years old and has announced her retirement at the end of this term. Senator Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth), age 71, was scheduled on Tuesday to undergo neck surgery for a disc problem.

Don’t forget the Governor will still hold the veto pen and they’ll wheel the two back if they have to in order to keep conservative stuff from getting through.
I can’t believe Puller is only 70.
I pray for their speedy recovery and political conversion.
I hate to hear of their medical issues. But republicans don’t blow it now. You have both house comfortable now….time to step up and do your job or the people will take back their seats.
Quick, someone file a redistricting bill before crossover…
