GOVERNOR SUSANA MARTINEZ HAS VETOED AT LEAST FIVE BILLS SO FAR, ALL OF THEM PASSING IN THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE WITH OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FROM BOTH PARTIES. POLITICAL BLOGGER JOE MONAHAN SAYS THE RECENT SENATE OVERRIDE OF THE VETO OF THE TEACHER SICK LEAVE BILL COULD BE SENDING A MESSAGE.
HE SAYS THE FACT THAT THE SENATE OVERRODE THE VETO SHOWS THE SENATE IS AS FRUSTRATED AS THE GOVERNOR SEEMS TO BE. THAT INCLUDES SENATOR FROM MARTINEZ’S OWN PARTY.
MONAHAN SAYS THOSE FRUSTRATION LEVELS CAN INCREASE AS THE 60 DAY SESSION DRAWS TO A CLOSE. SO FAR, ALL OF THE BILLS VETOED BY THE GOVERNOR HAVE COME OUT OF THE SENATE.
