Virginia Transit Pays Increases As Wage Talks End
Buses in Rich, Norfolk and Portsmouth resume rate control after a two year pay agreement boosting wages to 1,150 for two years.

Arlington County faces an August 15 deadline from the State Water Control Board to present a plan for expanded sewage treatment or risk a court ordered requirement to act.
