So, What Happens Now in Virginia Regarding the Confederate Monuments? (11/ 9-10 /38)
From the Feb. 12, 2020, WJLA Channel 7 ABC "Virginia state lawmakers approve Confederate statue removal bill."
This past week, the Virginia General Assembly Senate and House of Delegates passed a bill which is to allow the removal or relocation of Confederate monuments across the state. This was a Democratic Party thing, something they had promised to do and now taken the step. They haven't been able to do this before because they did not control the houses, but after the last election, they gained it.
Before it goes to the governor, also a Democrat and who says he will sign it, it has to go back to both houses where each other's version will have to pass. It will pass.
Alexandria's mayor, a white man, is gung-ho on removing his city's Appomattox statue and says he will start things on removal as soon as he can, once the bill is signed.
