The filing is a proactive defense against emerging political opposition in Virginia. Monitor the SCC review process and any further regulatory filings for conditions that could alter deal economics. The 100% win rate on prior D reports suggests the market has been receptive to deal-related news; any negative regulatory signal would be a sharp reversal.
