I'm Keyris Manzanares.
We begin with the spread of anti-war protests on college campuses throughout Virginia.
This week, students and activists gathered at the University of Virginia, Christopher Newport and other campuses across the state, including Virginia Commonwealth University, where 13 people were arrested, including six students.
Since last Friday, more than 100 people have been arrested, roughly half are students.
In Petersburg the city is facing backlash after approving a $1.4 billion casino resort proposal during a closed session last week.
Unite Here Local 25, a union that represents casino employees in the region says, it will sue the city for not being fair or transparent in the selection process.
Petersburg voters will ultimately decide the casino's fate in a voter referendum this fall.
Early voting is now open in Virginia for the June 18th primaries.
To cast an early ballot, residents can visit their local registrar's office with a valid ID like a driver's license, military or student ID.
Winners in the primary election will move on to November's general election ballot.
Thank you for joining us for this week's VPM News Update.
