By GEORGE BOWLES
The 1986 session of the General Assembly opening this week in Richmond will be one of the most politically charged of any in recent memory.
This is the year, as all the world knows, when the voter's of the Commonwealth will be electing a governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, as well as the 100 members of the House of Delegates. These elections will be interwoven in any number of intricate and fa^inating ways with the goings-on in the Commonwealth’s Capitol during the next six weeks. But Capitol observers believe this session will be superheated with political voltage, even by past gubernatorial year standards.
Since 1985 is an odd-numbered year, the session, according to the constitution, is only supposed to last 30 days, but it has already been tentatively extended to 46 days.
