Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, signed his first veto Tuesday on a bill that would have created a politically appointed independent policing auditor hired directly by the Arlington County Board of Supervisors.

H.B. 670, which reached Youngkin’s desk after passing the Virginia House of Delegates by a vote of 65-35 and the state Senate by a vote of 21-19, allowed the politically appointed auditor to take binding disciplinary actions, including termination.
