Connally Expected to Veto Budget Riders in Texas Session
Gov. John Connally retains veto power over the special session budget with a July 23 deadline. He is expected to slash millions from the 1969 appropriations and strike riders such as restricting Air Control Board funding and prohibiting salary payments for employees on campaign leave. The governor’s authority to veto riders is contested but historically exercised. Also noted are the DWI test bill debates and upcoming oil lease bids by the School Land Board with sale details.
