Mitchell proposes a presidential primary study and local option four percent gasoline tax for transportation. Del Vincent Callahan suggests mailing voters explanations of ballot questions. Sunset legislation, a judge appointment commission, bottle deposit moves, and beverage container taxes are among other proposals.

Virginia Moves to Curb Kepone Contaminated Fish
Virginia officials tighten control on Kepone contaminated seafood with a 36 hour hold for dealers to allow sampling. The plan targets bluefish, trout, and croaker, requiring disposal or nonfood use of unsafe fish and records of sources. A Hampton Roads lab may speed testing, and three local dealers won’t be prosecuted after hearings.
