Wisconsin Assembly Overrides Vetoes and Votes on Pay
The Wisconsin Assembly overrode Gov. Goodland’s vetoes on two measures and sustained an appropriation veto for 126000 for a state guard encampment while also overturning a 600 printing appropriation for a public school survey and a Door county board expansion. The body approved Lenroot’s bill as well. The Senate rejected a proposed $150 monthly raise for four months plus a mileage kicker, keeping current pay at 100 monthly, with reconsideration mooted. Senate also approved 500 annually for county judges and debated a land sale contract with the federal government. Gov. Goodland signed a libel law amendment allowing rebroadcast retractions as evidence of lack of malice and requiring prominence.
