(The Center Square) – Virginians say they support a wide range of policy proposals under debate in Richmond, according to a new statewide poll. The survey found broad support for proposals tied to wages, paid leave, marijuana sales, data center regulation and several potential constitutional amendments. The results come as Democrats hold majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly and control the governor’s office. The poll was conducted by the Wason Center for Civic Leadership at Christopher Newport University. Sampling of 807 registered voters in the state was conducted Jan. 13-20 and has a +/-4.4% margin of error. When asked about the direction of Virginia, 46% of voters said the state is headed in the right direction, while 35% said it is headed in the wrong direction. Another 10% said they were unsure. Views of the country were more negative. Sixty-five percent of respondents said the United States is headed in the wrong direction. Looking ahead to Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s term, 60% of voters said they feel optimistic, while 33% said they feel pessimistic. Inflation and the cost of living ranked as the top issue facing the state, followed by political extremism or threats to democracy, health care and K–12 education. Sixty percent supported allowing the retail sale of recreational marijuana. A majority also favored eliminating the 1% local option sales tax and replacing it with state funds. Workplace policies drew broad backing. Seventy-eight percent of respondents supported increasing Virginia’s minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2028, and 80% favored requiring employers to provide paid sick leave. Support was even higher for establishing a paid family and medical leave program providing up to 12 weeks of benefits for eligible workers. Views were more mixed on Virginia’s right-to-work law. A majority supported keeping the law as it is, while voters were divided on proposals that would modify it. Data center development also drew clear responses. Large majorities supported restrictions on locating facilities near parks or historic sites, along with requirements for site assessments, noise studies and energy sourcing standards. The poll also measured support for constitutional amendments. Large majorities of voters supported guaranteeing reproductive rights in the state constitution and restoring voting rights to people confsupportvicted of felonies after they complete their prison sentences. Opinions were narrower on redistricting. While most voters supported Virginia’s current commission-based system, just over half said they would support a temporary change allowing the General Assembly to redraw congressional districts mid-cycle. On Tuesday, a judge ruled lawmakers failed to follow required procedures when advancing that proposal, blocking it from moving forward under the current timeline. Respondents were 39% Democrats, 27% Republicans and 32% independent. The Wason Center bills itself as “unbiased, nonpartisan insight into the policy issues shaping the future of the commonwealth.”

(The Center Square) — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is putting plans to expand the city's housing voucher program on hold as his new administration grapples with budget shortfalls. More than 60,000 families rely on the City Fighting Homelessness and Eviction Prevention Supplement program, known as CityFHEPS, to help pay their rent. Participants are required to pay 30% of their income toward it. Mamdani's plans called for expanding the program and dropping a lawsuit filed by his predecessor, Eric Adams, that challenged a law, expanding eligibility for the housing vouchers. But at a budget briefing this week, Mamdani told reporters his administration needs more time to develop a plan to expand the program after learning of a projected $12 billion revenue shortfall for the next fiscal year. To reduce the budget gap, Mamdani said he will pursue a campaign pledge to raise taxes by 2% on millionaires and increase the combined corporate tax rate to just over 22%, making it the highest rate in the nation. Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, who is seeking reelection this year, has ruled out support for higher taxes in the city. The democratic socialist and former Queens Assemblyman has blamed former Mayor Eric Adams for leaving a budget deficit and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, his chief rival in November's mayoral election, for not doing enough to help the city as governor. Both have denied responsibility for the Big Apple's revenue shortfalls. "The prior administration mismanaged not only the budget, but also, frankly, housing and assistance programs,” Mamdani said in remarks Wednesday. "Looking forward, we want to make sure that we balance New Yorkers' access to medium- and long-term housing, while also crafting a sustained and balanced budget." Adams wanted to raise tenant rents under CityFHEPS to 40%, arguing the city needs to contain the program's costs, which rose to more than $1.25 billion last year. But the City Council rejected his plan. Meanwhile, the City Council failed to muster enough votes on Thursday to override Adams' objections to the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, which would give nonprofits and private developers a first crack at buying distressed apartment buildings to redevelop them for affordable housing. Mamdani had championed the bill on the campaign trail. Adams vetoed the legislation on his final day in office amid opposition from real estate industry and landlord groups, who said the changes would increase red tape and contribute to a shortage of affordable housing. Despite support for the measure, and a last-ditch effort by Mamdani to bring it up for a vote Thursday, Council Speaker Julie Menin didn't have the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto. Backers of the measure said they were undeterred by the failure to override Adams veto, and vowed to keep pushing for its passage. "The bottom line is this: if we do not have stronger protections to keep working class New Yorkers here, they will continue to leave," Councilmember Sandra Nurse said in a statement. "I look forward to working with Speaker Menin on re-introducing the bill and passing it this year."
