Iowa Supreme Court Rules Governor Exceeded Veto Scope
The Iowa Supreme Court, in a 7-2 ruling written by Justice Harvey Uhlenhopp, voided Governor Robert Ray's item vetoes of five 1973 appropriation bills for exceeding the constitutional amendment authority. The decision, affecting lines limiting state employee hiring and program funding, noted that to strike the restrictions the governor must also veto the corresponding appropriation. The ruling hinges on the 1968 veto amendment granting full power to approve or disapprove appropriations.
