    3. Va. House approves car-title bill

    4. Vandals hit Pr. William school buses

    5. Petula Dvorak: A temperance movement springs up to combat Fairfax County schools’ zero-tolerance policy

    6. State agency finds phony charity collected $2 million in Va.

    7. Breakaway Northern Virginia parish settles property dispute

    8. Compromise reached over alcohol billboards

    10. Budget negotiators are far apart

    11. K-12 education measures spark debate in Senate

    12. Senate panel kills bills aimed at easing N.Va. traffic congestion (actually, this title is completely misleading; these bills actually would have WORSENED sprawl and traffic – thank you to the State Senate for killing them!)
