reforming the criminal justice system. and on thursday, he is going to do something that no sitting president has ever done before. he is going to go inside a federal prison and going to sit down and he is going to talk to some of the inmates. but in the meantime, they will continue to look through these tens of thousands of application and the president in the meantime, has sent personal letters to each of the 46 inmates whose sentences he today commuted. jim? >> nbc's chris jansing. thanks so much. with virginia's budget in the black, raises are in the works for thousands of you. today governor mcauliffe announced $553 million budget surplus. teachers will get a 1.5% raise. state employees, 2%. >> we have never had $2 billion in the history of the common beth. we'd $2 billion month in june, which i think really helped drive these numbers. >> mcauliffe says the raises for state workers will go into effect august 10th. you will see them show up in
