Again, selective outrage. If he doesn't sign a bill it automatically becomes law 30 days after adjournment. Many to most states are like this.
People, at least know the facts before you start reposting misinformation. You are part of the problem! |
So he is behaving differently than any other previous governor but it's "selective" outrage. Oh. |
Oh please I remember Northam signing the SB1303 guaranteeing in person school on the very last day. Andplusalso - the Ds are no better. Youngkin is basically doing payback for the Ds not approving one of his cabinet selections which they historically just rubber stamp - and so the Ds also behaving differently as well. It’s really becoming clear to me that the difference between the Rs and the Ds is the difference between gonorrhea and chlamydia. |
I have no idea if he is "behaving differently than any other previous governor." What I do know is that the constitution sets up the process. If one Gov feels the need to sign every bill so they pass that is their choice. If another decides to only sign the bills they would like to sign -- and the rest pass regardless, that is their choice. Outcome is the same. Both ways are completely legitimate and defined ways to legislate under the VA constitution. Just because someone on the internet claims this is not how it should doesn't make it so. That is misinformation. Don't fall for that. Be smarter. |

*should be done doesn't make it so.
I did follow your link to the Twitter post and someone actually linked the section of the Constitution stating the bills become law to the original tweet. So the poster knows or is at least aware of the law but of course hasn't said anything about how it really doesn't matter. Just keeps up their wrong and misleading pie chart which people will continue to spread around like it is fact. This is misinformation 101. If you don't like Trump and his people doing it then don't do it yourself. |
Huh? Are you talking about something else? He is not "not signing" the bills so that they go on to pass later. He is signing some, amending some, and vetoing others. He's doing all the bills. He's doing it differently than other governors have done in the past. You're asleep, yourself. |
Dems opposed one nominee who was wholly unfit and approved lots of others without incident. That’s a little different from what Youngkin is doing. |
Well that is what the pie chart is claiming. That he is way behind on signing bills. If he doesn't sign them they become law. Outcome the same. He can sign (law), not sign (law), amend (revote) and veto. If you don't like the process you need to work to have it changed. If he was sitting there just vetoing everything then I would listen to your complaints. But he isn't doing that. He isn't behind or doing something nefarious. Many governors let bills sit, unsigned and just become law. Common practice around the country. |

Like I said above, I see you and raise you: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/04/12/youngkin-veto-general-assembly-loudoun-schools/ The vetoes were widely seen as payback for Senate Democrats’ refusal to confirm a handful of Youngkin appointments, starting with their rejection of a Trump administration official for the governor’s Cabinet. Ebbin, as chairman of the Senate committee that handles appointments, has been at the center of those appointment battles. In early February, the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee rejected Andrew Wheeler, Youngkin’s pick for secretary of natural and historic resources. Virginia’s General Assembly rarely snubs a governor’s Cabinet nominee, but the Democrats strenuously objected to Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist who led a rollback of Obama-era environmental regulations as President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency chief. |
What exactly is he doing - signing one version of a bill instead of both? It's the same result for citizens. |
Look at dates. You're talking about last week now. Not this week. |
