Youngkin to reimburse businesses fined for violating 'draconian' COVID shutdown rules

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is working to end fines and fees and develop a reimbursement process for businesses who were "unjustly" subjected to COVID-19 pandemic shutdown violations.

The GOP governor issued an executive order Tuesday rolling back strict COVID enforcement policies enacted by the previous Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam. Youngkin, a political newcomer, flipped a typically blue state red in 2021 by running on pro-parent and anti-Biden administration policies, including pandemic response.

The new order will direct his state government agencies to report the fines and fees businesses throughout the state were forced to pay during the shutdown. The governor also tapped the state finance secretary to create a reimbursement procedure for penalized businesses.

Very good move. He’s a bit squishy here and there though.

Yes good move, contrast that with Andy Cuomo scaring businesses to force them to force customers to by a $5 meatball every time they ordered a drink from the bar, sheer intimidation and the heavy hand of too big government and too many powers.

It might be a great move, but it should’ve been done within a week of him winning the office of governor. He’s slow walking it.

And once again the tax payers foot the bill for some really stupid acts done by government which shouldn’t have been done in the first place, but what the hell, we’re all just made out of money, right?

Giving fined people back their money is not giving them tax dollars.

President Trump-Gov. Youngkin versus HeelsUp/F@g, we flip Virginia, which narrows Democrat electoral win scenarios like you can’t believe.
