Buncha East Coast states doing the same thing.
The coronavirus is practically non-existent in all 3 states at this point. There is really no justification to delay re-opening past Monday, May 4th at the latest.
“...and the great decrease in state tax revenues will force them to open sooner...”
They’ll be going to the federal government for a bail out.
Sort of like the Warsaw Pact?
Water. Like the knife in the middle of the table. To California, Oregon and Washington had better enjoy being annexed.
The Stalin-Mao-Pol Pot management firm.
any formal pact between states is illegal without consent of congress.
not one federal dime to bailout these states - their state tax revenues will dry up.

Agree.
Maybe POTUS can just announce a virtual wall around these states....with fines for anyone trespassing into other states.
Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo come to mind as well.
W.O.C might make more sense since it is a Chinese Virus.
Fine by me. Just stop that wall at roughly the northern part Sacramento County. Up here in NorCal we consider this region The State of Jefferson.
Well screw Idaho, Nevada and Utah , eh?
How about Montana and Wyoming?
Bunch of idiots.
The Democrats want as much damage to be inflicted on the economy as possible. They think this will win them the White House.
Communist states run on tax dollars. Every day that goes by, there’s none.
Even the most leftist of states — maybe even more likely the leftist states — will have to open soon.
“It will take every level of government, working together, and a full picture of what’s happening on the ground.”
Check the sky for drones before leaving your house.
Their compacts are worthless no matter what they think,say or sign. It is Constitutionally ILLEGAL.
Sooner or later even fascist state governor’s and comrade mayors need their tax money fix.
**pour economy**
What are you pouring?
Did you mean POOR economy?
I can’t even imagine those kind of people (Hollywood, hippies, homeless) running a country, or even forming a community of their own.
Call me a skeptic. I sense this is a political move.
From a Yahoo Finance article (link below), “......The announcements of these
coalitions came shortly after President Donald Trump said on Twitter that the decision to reopen the government would be determined by the White House, creating a potential sticking point in deciding the ultimate path to easing weeks-long social distancing measures across the nation.......”
An East Coast and West Coast coalition of Democratic State Governors. A curious timing. I am sure there is nothing to see.
Then again the Constitution’s Commerce clause give both Interstate and International commerce and trade control to the federal government. I suspect there may be political mischief afoot.

Didn’t Justice Roberts deliver a bit of a blow to the commerce clause in his Obamacare ruling?
