Virginia's General Assembly returns to Richmond Friday to take up budget changes proposed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R).
Lawmakers of both parties had asked Youngkin not to tinker with the compromise budget that they spent nearly six months hashing out. But the new governor had other ideas — digging in on some issues and picking new fights, including his first substantive action on the issue of abortion.
Knight could not be reached for comment Thursday. But Garren Shipley, a spokesman for House Speaker Todd Gilbert , said he believes the temporary cut is likely to pass regardless of whether Knight votes for it. Republicans have a 52-48 edge in the House. Simon pointed out that changes to the criminal code usually go through an extensive legislative process, in which the Assembly’s many lawyer-members can vet any proposal.“People are subject to losing their liberty on something that nobody has even had a chance to look at,” he said, calling Youngkin’s proposal “an obvious appeal to a Fox News audience that’s taken umbrage at people protesting outside Supreme Court justices’ homes. That seems to be going a bit far.
In his message to lawmakers, Youngkin said that his “amendments primarily focus on expanding opportunities for education, keeping our communities safe, and making Virginia the best state for business. I believe that my amendments are necessary in order to continue the work that can unite Virginians, Republican and Democrat alike.”
