Youngkin vetoes bill setting up sale of recreational marijuana in Virginia
Quick Glance: Youngkin signs 2 gun control measures in Virginia
  • Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed an assault weapons ban passed by the state Legislature and instead signed two more limited gun regulations into law.

  • Youngkin signed laws banning gun trigger switches that can make firearms fire automatically and allowing criminal charges against parents who allow children access to weapons deemed threats.

  • While praised by gun control activists, they urge him to do more, emphasizing that the work does not stop here.

  • The signing of the two gun control bills by Youngkin is seen as a step in the right direction, showing that America's gun violence crisis does not have to be accepted as inevitable.

Quick Glance: Affordable Housing Levy Bill Boosts Ruto's Key Project

  • The Affordable Housing Programme is viewed as an economic incentive to create jobs and deliver housing solutions while simultaneously reducing construction expenses.
