In the last two weeks, I’ve spoken to 27 offices, 17 of those in person. As we transform as an agency to better protect the nation from violent storms over land, ocean, and in space, it’s critical to get feedback from everyone in the @NWS and our external partners as we develop plans over the next few years. More visits to come, so see you soon!

Eirick Schule developed a 3D-printed replacement for the MUOS antenna mast in April 2025, cutting costs from $5,644 per unit to about $10 and reducing delivery time from over 7 months to 10 hours, with 107 units produced and an estimated $600,000 saved.
Here’s the reality of how a bill becomes law in Virginia—because a lot of folks get this wrong:
Once the General Assembly passes a bill, it goes to the Governor. Under Article V, Section 6 of the Virginia Constitution, the Governor has a limited window to act. She can sign it, veto it, or recommend amendments.
But here’s the key part—if the Governor does nothing within the constitutional deadline, the bill automatically becomes law. No signature required.
So when you hear people say “the Governor hasn’t signed it yet,” that doesn’t mean it’s dead. In Virginia, inaction is approval.
