Abigail Spanberger to call a special session for the legislature to vote to extend how long the State Corporation Commission would have to review the $67 billion deal. “A transaction of this magnitude cannot be meaningfully examined on that schedule,” lawmakers’ letter read. “Six months is not enough time
