Live Thread: Virginia General Assembly Holds “Reconvene”/Veto Session

See below for video, photos, etc. from today’s Virginia General Assembly “reconvene”/veto session. There is also a ridiculous protest going on outside the Capitol, by people who want to open things up again, even though we’re nowhere near ready to do so based on our testing capacity, etc. Brilliant, eh? Anyway…the General Assembly will be considering Gov. Northam’s amendments and vetoes today, as required under the State Constitution, starting at noon. Stay tuned, and check out the livestream here.

Speaker Filler-Corn right back to work after fainting…tough cookie!

Phew.

Block voting not on @GovernorVA ‘s amendments, because Senators are pulling almost every one out of the block. SB34 (driver’s privilege) removed by @MarkObenshain and SB35 (locality control of handguns) by @DRSuetterlein.
