Call the Governor
February 18, 2010
By John Mayo (D) DeSoto County Mississippi House of Representatives
The Senate today passed a bill with their number on it, but with the House language, that restores more money to education at all levels, as well as money to Public Health and Mental Health. This is the first time the Senate has gone against the Governor's wishes in six years. By proof here is a statement just released to us at 4:11.

Should the Governor veto the bill, the DeSoto County teachers who have e-mailed me in the last two weeks need to call your senators first to ask them to override the veto. Since it is a Senate bill (even though the language is the House's language), it will first go to the senate first (I hope I am right on that).

DATE: February 18, 2010 STATEMENT OF GOVERNOR HALEY BARBOUR ON THE PASSAGE OF SENATE BILL 2688 "I regret the Senate, by a narrow majority, has chosen to send Senate Bill 2688 to me rather than to a conference with the House, where an appropriate compromise might have been reached. This bill spends too much, burns too much of our reserves, and fails to adequately address Corrections, where we still face the possibility of turning criminals loose due to the lack of funding. I expect the bill to reach my desk next week, and I will veto it and send it back to the Legislature." |
