Fitzgerald says Senate "better be back" to override veto

As he said yesterday, Senate Minority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, firmly believes that Gov. Doyle will use his veto pen to block the shift of $125 million in school aids, and will borrow that amount from the transportation fund to fill the budget gap.

He said there will be a call in the Assembly to override the governor in that event, and he said the Senate had better follow suit.

"Keep your calendars clear for that last week in May," Fitzgerald said.

"The Assembly's going to go first, and then the pressure's going to be on this house," he said.
