Capitol Update – Week Ending 11/20/2020

Capitol Update is a weekly review of state government.  Topics this week include:

• As COVID-19 cases continued to rise, a coalition of mayors urged the Governor to do more to stop the spread.
• Lawmakers gathered at the Capitol for Organization Session, officially choosing a new House Speaker, Senate President and minority leaders for each chamber.
• At the Board of Education meeting, Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said distance learning options would remain after the winter break, but didn’t say if funding would remain the same.
