Assembly fails to override budget repair vetoes
The Assembly failed to override three of Gov. Jim Doyle's partial vetoes today as Republicans tried to restore exemptions to protect K-12 funding, SeniorCare and the transportation fund from cuts or lapses to meet spending reductions he ordered in the budget repair bill he reworked.
Majority Republicans picked up 10 Democrats in their efforts to override the K-12 and SeniorCare vetoes while losing three of their own. Rep. Barb Gronemus, D-Whitehall, joined the 10 Dems and majority Republicans in voting to override for the transportation fund veto.
