Blaine vetoes big park bills and school board measure
Gov. John J. Blaine vetoed three large state park projects totaling 350000 and the Peterson independent city school board bill. Park plans include Northern Lakes in Price and Sawyer counties at 250000, a park north of Beloit at 30000, and a Dells park at 70000. The governor says future costs would fall on property taxpayers and cites overextension amid existing parks. The school board veto hinges on a claimed joker in the bill.
