Apportionment Bill Vetoed Over Daly Deer Lodge Dispute
Montana Governor vetoed the apportionment bill over an alleged error that created a non existent Daly county and reduced Deer Lodge. The veto preserves the old map under which Daly has no representation and Deer Lodge retains one, while other counties gain or lose as defined. He also vetoed an agricultural college grant investment bill, citing overlap with existing laws and state policy.
