This Week in Virginia...

Jailed Virginia Dem Reelected Last Week Charged With Four More Felonies
Currently imprisoned for sexual relations with a female minor, Virginia Democratic Delegate, Joe Morrissey, was reelected last week just before being charged with four other felonies on Wednesday. Police investigators searched his office, and he is now being charged with forging false documentation for his defense in the case that has put him behind bars. Morrissey maintains these documents’ authenticity.
McAuliffe still governing Va. from his hospital bed
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe has remained in the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center since Monday to be treated for injuries he received during his Christmas vacation to Tanzania. McAuliffe was thrown from a horse during a safari, and suffered seven broken ribs and a punctured lung. Despite his hospitalization, the governor continues working, keeping up with meetings and economic development calls, and hopes to be released yet this week.

McDonald's sued for racial discrimination in Virginia
Allegations of sexual and racial discrimination have led ten former employees to sue McDonald’s in Virginia’s federal court. One Hispanic and nine African-American former workers claim that franchise operator Michael Simon started hiring white employees and firing African-American employees shortly after his hire in 2013 as a plan to “get the ghetto out of the store”. McDonald’s maintains that these allegations go against the restaurant’s values and reputation.
