Virginia Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax is asking for a special session of the General Assembly in the coming weeks to implement emergency measures for the state following the COVID-19 crisis.
In a letter to Governor Ralph Northam, Fairfax is also asking for bolder and swifter action to combat health and economic threats caused by the coronavirus, including closing all K-12 schools and colleges for the remaining terms while increasing unemployment payments to $800 per week for the next two months. Lawmakers are already scheduled to return to Richmond on April 22 to consider bills either approved or vetoed by Northam. Comments are closed.
