Governor of Idaho Uses Big Red Veto Stamp to Veto 35 Bills in Two Days

Governor of Idaho Uses Big Red Veto Stamp to Veto 35 Bills in Two Days

The Governor of Idaho, C.L. "Butch" Otter used his big red veto stamp to veto 35 separate bills over a two day period earlier this week. He is disappointed with the house not passing a highway transportation bill which includes a small tax increase on gasoline. The legislature is only in session for a few months each year, and this session is now the second longest session on record. By vetoing the bills the governor is forcing the legislature to stay longer in Boise. I think its safe to say most of these people are ready to go home. I wonder if the Governor will win, or if these bills will be passed by supermajority?

RE: Gov of Idaho

Kind of a clever way to get the legislatures attention. I just hope they get done soon. It is costing taxpayers $30,000 dollars a day to bicker about a small tax increase. 3 cents a gallon isn't going to hurt anyone. If anything, maybe it will convince people they don't need a suburban or a dually f350 to drive one person on their daily commute.
