  • Some joked about not showering as others shrugged and just said stuff happens. Virginia legislators pledged to finish their work on time despite a delay caused by Richmond's water crisis.

The article from the Richmond Times-Dispatch discusses the ongoing water crisis in Richmond, Virginia, where a significant water main break has led to a state of emergency. Governor Glenn Youngkin has been actively involved, communicating with local leaders to manage the situation. The crisis has prompted discussions in the Virginia General Assembly about infrastructure funding, with Senator Scott Surovell highlighting the need for increased investment in water infrastructure to prevent future incidents. The article also touches on the political implications, with both parties recognizing the urgency of the issue but differing on funding solutions. The city has been distributing bottled water and setting up water distribution points to help residents, while repair efforts are underway to restore normal water service.
