[quote=Anonymous][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.

Northam and the Dems have nothing to lose by signing this bill 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]

I can’t find the episode of the Kojo Nandi show online. Can you point me to it?[/quote]

I believe this is it:
