It's the opening day of the 2011 Virginia General Assembly as politicians from across the Commonwealth gather in Richmond for this year's short session.
The House of Delegates and the Senate of Virginia offer live streaming video of the 2011 Legislative Sessions, when each body convenes for session.
Governor Robert F. McDonnell's address to the General Assembly will be streamed live via this website at 7 pm Wednesday, January, 12, 2011.
The Virginia House of Delegates and the Senate of Virginia now have Twitter accounts, VAHouse and VASenate. The first tweets from the Virginia General Assembly were during the Special Session on August 19, 2009. Future Virginia General Assembly Twitter accounts will be tagged under #Virginia#Legislature.
