hangover, this year of having your veto matters come up
|

for --

GOVERNOR TAWES: Consideration. Well, under
|
|
4
|
our present system, after the session is over and we veto
|
|
5
|
the bills that we feel are unconstitutional or for some
|
|
6
|
other reason lack legal sufficiency, we are required to
|
|
7
|
submit those veto messages to the General Assembly on the
|
|
8
|
opening day of the next session.
|
|
9
|
Now, in eight years I have vetoed a lot of
|
|
10
|
pieces of legislation, but I have never had one overridden
|
|
11
|
yet. We consider those bills very carefully, and let me
|
|
12
|
see, there was one, I think, that they put up a terrific
|
|
13
|
fight on, I don't recall what, but we haven't had a veto.
|
|
14
|
There is another provision under the new, the
|
|
15
|
seventy day session. Now, at the end of the session, any
|
|
16
|
bills that are left that I veto, that; is the end of them;
|
|
17
|
that is the end of them, they don't go to the next session,
|
|
18
|
there will be a new Legislature, a new Administration, so
|
|
19
|
my veto message is final at the end of this session.

JUDGE ADKINS: So you see no reason to change
|
|
21
|
the existing procedure?
