[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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![/quote]

So he is behaving differently than any other previous governor but it's "selective" outrage.

Oh.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

Look at dates.  You're talking about last week now.  Not this week.[/quote]
