Is a Budget Veto Around the Corner?
I’m at the Statehouse today and ran into a key lawmaker who says he would not be surprised if Governor Mitch Daniels vetoed whatever budget comes out of the General Assembly. The Governor has expressed concerns that the budget spends too much money and relies to heavily on federal stimulus dollars. There’s no word yet from the Governor’s office on whether he would actually veto the budget, but I plan to find out and report back to you later. With 15 days to go before lawmakers are scheduled to adjourn, this place is going to get real interesting.
