[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to this WaPo analysis, he only committed to “reviewing” it, not signing it. If you want 5 days, better start writing/calling to let him know it.

The analysis also points out the impossibility of providing 5 days in FCPS and other NOVA districts of 6 feet is still the guidance. [/quote]

Gotta say that I will be very surprised if he does not sign this into law.

I was listening to the Kojo Nnamdi show a week or so ago and he had a NoVa legislator on - someone from Fairfax - Scott Sturovell I think. Tom Sherwood asked him about so many NoVa Dems voting for SB 1303 - Tom was pretty surprised. Sturovell straight up said that legislators were under "tremendous pressure" from parents from NoVa whose kids had not been in school in person.

[b]Northam and the Dems have nothing to lose by signing this bill [/b]and a lot to lose by not signing. This should not be a difficult political calculation and opening schools is solidly backed by science and evidence, so it should not be a difficult calculation at all.[/quote]

Yep- it’s not as if they have to worry about the anti-opening crowd voting republican in protest.[/quote]
