Yes. Political theater set against a backdrop of safety theater! :) ** -- CAVern 01/25/2022 4:47PM
Political theater pertaining to COVID? That's unthinkable! :-) ** -- Hoodafan 01/25/2022 5:05PM

You have to give him some leeway since he saved our kids from CRT. -- HoosWillWin 01/25/2022 3:36PM
I thought he would end the state mandate and leave it up to localities -- CAVern 01/25/2022 3:26PM
Same I thought that was his intention when he was running too ** -- HokieJamie 01/25/2022 6:33PM
That would be the wise approach. But I'm not entirely sure he's banned -- Hoodafan 01/25/2022 3:37PM
How is letting parents decide different than ending a mandate? under -- 81_Hokie 01/25/2022 4:13PM
I'm not sure that's the case. There is a difference between banning a mask -- Hoodafan 01/25/2022 4:30PM
Youngkin did NOT say that local officials and parents can decide to go mask -- 81_Hokie 01/25/2022 4:41PM
He didn't say mask mandates were banned either. Again, I blame him for it -- Hoodafan 01/25/2022 4:46PM
He didn't say Fairfax couldn't put in a mask mandate, but said that nobody -- 81_Hokie 01/25/2022 5:26PM

No. executive order 2 essentially allowed parents to opt their child out -- CAVern 01/25/2022 4:27PM
In what sense is it a mandate if anybody that chooses to can ignore it? ** -- 81_Hokie 01/25/2022 4:33PM
Ok, i misunderstood your earlier point. It'll depend on locality -- CAVern 01/25/2022 4:40PM

Have to follow through on the grandstanding that got him elected ** -- HptHokie 01/25/2022 3:32PM
Wouldn't be the first Gov to learn that. This week. I'm sure I just missed -- Hoodafan 01/25/2022 3:24PM
If you mean Northam, I'm not a fan of him either ** -- HptHokie 01/25/2022 3:31PM
He’s talking about NYS. The indoor statewide mask mandate was -- hoolstoptheheels 01/25/2022 3:34PM
Thanks for clarifying - I'm assuming NY doesn't have a statute like VA does ** -- HptHokie 01/25/2022 3:35PM
I’m not sure of the specific laws on the books, but it is -- hoolstoptheheels 01/25/2022 3:44PM

Whaddabouts only go One Way, donja know?** -- ryno hoo 01/25/2022 3:38PM
It's not a whaddabout - there is no NY statute like there is in Virginia ** -- HptHokie 01/25/2022 3:39PM
Well, no whaddabout is exactly the same. It's about comparing -- ryno hoo 01/25/2022 4:03PM
I disagree that they are similar at all -- HptHokie 01/25/2022 4:14PM

Got me there buddy - you are hopeless ** -- HptHokie 01/25/2022 6:17PM
Ryno misses a lot ** -- 81_Hokie 01/25/2022 4:24PM
I should have googled - not sure how that's relevant to Virginia -- HptHokie 01/25/2022 3:35PM
Just laughing that the name was right there for you. ** -- Hoodafan 01/25/2022 3:38PM
All good - I deserved that one ** -- HptHokie 01/25/2022 3:39PM
Now back to your point. Which is more over reaching, a Gov unilaterally -- Hoodafan 01/25/2022 3:48PM

Oh I understand that, as does Youngkin which is why he was expecting the -- Hoodafan 01/25/2022 4:23PM
I agree the law was poorly written - we will see what the VA SC has to say ** -- HptHokie 01/25/2022 4:24PM
Yep. I just hope it's mostly moot by the time that happens. ** -- Hoodafan 01/25/2022 4:31PM
