Legislature Sets New Record Overriding Governor Veto
NASHVILLE April 6 legislators press to act independently for the common people of Tennessee as the sixty-fifth general assembly overrules Governor Austin Peay’s vetoes. The next measure targeted is the Hensley bill raising the gasoline tax to fund county feeder roads at 40 miles per year per county, with revenues shared by counties. highway commissioner C Neal Bass urged the governor to veto amendments that would give county officials final road location decisions, arguing it would strip the highway department of decision power. The Senate passed the veto override, and attention shifts to ongoing pension debates amid Democratic alarm over expanded Confederate pensions.
