RICHMOND, Va. -- A special session of the Virginia General Assembly to address gun violence cost taxpayers nearly $45,000, despite the House and Senate adjourning after just over an hour of convening.
The session, called by Democratic Governor Ralph Northam, came in the wake of the mass shooting in Virginia Beach that left 12 dead.
Both Republican-controlled chambers abruptly voted to adjourn until November 18, after this year’s election in which every House and Senate seat is up for grabs.
