The House and Senate race toward a Tuesday deadline for passing their bills
to each other in a flurry of activity at the state capitol yesterday.
Among the day's accomplishments, labor unions and business leaders are
singing the praises of Vinton Delegate Dick Cranwell.

this week in front of the full House of Delegates:
