Missouri veto session roundup

9/16/2013

0 Comments

 
An extraordinary year in the Missouri legislature came to a close last week, as the legislature overrode 10 of Governor Jay Nixon’s 33 vetoes in its annual veto session, the most veto overrides in the state since 1833. That’s not all that surprising though, with the interesting setup in the state right now: a Democratic governor, and Republicans controlling a veto proof majority in both the state house and senate. But that veto proof majority didn’t always stick together along party lines in the veto session: there were attempts to override 7 other vetoes that were unsuccessful, including the two most high-profile bills: a tax cut bill and a bill that would nullify federal gun laws. 

This week on the show, we’re going to dissect that veto session, and talk about what it means going forward – what we learned about the political divisions in our state, and what we can expect next year.
