Northamâs unlikely monument â one more oriented to the future than the past â largely will be fashioned from Virginiaâs budget, etched with dollars for programs that aim to expand democracy in a state that long resisted it.
On Wednesday, in the first step of his last chance to fully shape spending before his term ends in January 2022, Northam laid out to the legislatureâs money committees more proposals to address the issue that suddenly and dramatically reset the arc of his administration: racial equity.
