Virginia will be the only state of the former Confederacy to officially abolish the death penalty; North Carolina, Kentucky and Louisiana have suspended theirs while having Democratic governors but the statutes are still there.

Aruan posted:im kind of pissed about mcclellan getting shafted by mcauliffe entering - it would've been her primary to win otherwise. if we're being honest, foy also has a zero % chance of winning. its going to be mcauliffe in a landslide. yeah true, but Foy at least has some chance of making an impact in the race even if it's just to get McAuliffe to talk progressive.

Another Good Virginia Thing https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/05/us/virginia-bans-gay-trans-panic-defense-trnd/index.html Virginia becomes the first state in the South to ban gay and trans panic as a defense quote:Delegate Danica Roem introduced the bill in the Virginia House of Delegates earlier this year, and Gov. Ralph Northam signed the bill last week. It goes into effect in July. Thank you Danica Roem.

this is basically the Virginia Good Things thread Virginia governor signs bills creating tuition-free community college program for low, middle-income students https://www.wric.com/news/virginia-...ncome-students/ The cutoff is 400% of the poverty line, so for 2021-2022 up to $49,960 for a single independent student or $103k for someone from a household of 4. That covers a lot of students. https://www.brcc.edu/Assets/uploads/finaid/2021-22/g3-income-eligibility-guidelines-2021-2022.pdf

GreyjoyBastard posted:wasn't McAuliffe an inexplicably great governor All of the recent Dem governors have been good to great in spite of being establishment dems. Helps that the legislature has gotten increasingly progressive and finally broke through a couple years ago to control both houses so we could actually pass some good legislation. I don't think McAuliffe will be as good at Getting poo poo Done as Northam since Northam has had "enact a progressive agenda or get the boot" hanging over his head since the scandal, but all he needs to do is sign whatever the Dem state legislature passes, roadblock any anti-abortion garbage and not cower to the pro-COVID crowd. Also don't wear blackface or sexually harass anyone.
