This is a Banana Republic directive. Virginia will now bounce all over the place politcally and it will never get anything done. This is the Trump directive and it is nothing but nonsense. All the Republicans running for office are intent on causing instability in government and hindering services. Voters need to realize their Republican candidates are nothing but trouble makers and have no intention of good or effective governance.
This is not about Trump, it is about governance. When the Former Democratic Governor Terry McAullife ran on an anti-Trump theme, the people of Virginia could not stand to hear the name and tuned him out. He should not have used the word Trump, he should have run on STABIITY IN GOVERNANCE.
When Trump was in the White House the entire federal government was in flux all the time. We now know that when the Republicans are complaining about wrongful elections and fraud they are doing nothing but raising money, that is why the complaints are frequent and prolonged.
The public universities involved need to have their Board of Trustees review the dismissal of their attorneys and file lawsuits against the Attorney General. Why? Because the lawyers that were dismissed KNOW what the issues at the universities are and now someone needs to learn their job all over again. There will be delays in processing issues that could have been easily handled by existing staff.
The Republicans are turning their elections into windfalls for their party members in placing more and more people in government jobs to secure more loyalty to party priorities and not doing the work of the people. There will be a lot of dysfunction in Virginia's governance and it should be an example of the poor governance Republicans bring to elections.
This is just the beginning.
The public universities need to stand their ground in funding and maintaining their admissions and even increasing the number of students accepted. The labs and classrooms must remain in public ownership and maintain reasonable admission costs and fees. Their professors need to be firm in their cirriculum and never give into unfair labor practices. Teacher unions are going to have a lot of work cut out for them, but, this is the Republicans now and there needs to be plenty of push back.
This is going to be a very difficult time for Virginia and there will be repeated lawsuits due to unfair and unsafe practices of the Youngkin administration.
