I am a life long resident of Northern Virginia and this was a bad idea from the start. Youngkin had a secret panel making all the decisions and his administration has refused to release the details of those meetings. Now Youngkin is taking it out on the Democrats
by vetoeing good legislation such as the minimum wage increase. He is stuck issuing executive orders and siccing his lap dog attorney general on school districts that displease him. I am so glad he can only serve one term.
Sadly Ted Leonis lost any respect I had for him over his part in this deal as well.
