Va. GA fails to overturn several vetoes, debates gov.’s proposals
Del. Charniele L. Herring accused Youngkin of acting mainly “to strike back at Democrats” and “to fan the flames of culture war in order to boost his national profile.”
Republicans also agreed to not vote on an amendment proposed by Youngkin that would have required the General Assembly to vote again next year on a law setting out qualifications for membership on boards and commissions in the city of Falls Church. However, Republicans approved an amendment proposed by Youngkin to require people on the city’s boards and commissions to be legal citizens.
Senate’s 19 Republicans stood with Youngkin on an amendment that would have forced a citizen challenging a governor’s executive order to do so in Richmond Circuit Court — an inconvenience for people living in far-flung corners of the state that the rest of the Senate saw as an attempt to make such challenges more daunting.A handful of Republicans crossed party lines to reject other Youngkin amendments, including the Senate version of the bill related to Falls Church commissions.
Youngkin had wielded his veto pen with uncommon vigor against Sen. Adam P. Ebbin , targeting nine of his 10 bills. Youngkin appeared to blame Ebbin, as a chairman of the Senate committee that oversees gubernatorial nominees, for a nominations battle that began with the rejection of a former Trump administration official for his Cabinet.
