Virginia, New York Pass Massive Militia Reorganization Acts By Jameson Owens The Virginia General Assembly has recently passed a militia reform bill that will officially create a standing state guard to protect Virginia's borders and interests. The legislation authored by Congressmen Declan Owens of Virginia's First District, reforms the state militia organizations into a newly created executive department call the Virginia State Guard Bureau. "After spending several years in the Continental Army, I understand the importance of maintaining a strong national defense." Said Congressmen Owens. The act will also create a military academy to train new officers to be built in Virginia at a location to be determined. Rumored locations have included Norfolk, Alexandria, and Richmond. Following Virginia's lead the New York State Legislature has passed a similar bill. "I'm pleased to see my legislation gaining ground. I hope that other states follow Virginia's lead like New York has. This is just a precursor to the Uniformed Services that our country needs." Said Owens. Following New York's passing of the legislation though, their still remains the concern of the Vermont Crisis. Virginia's prominent Congressman Declan Owens has authored legislation that will hopefully end the crisis where it stands.
