Governor Burnquist uses veto power for first time this session to strike down Representative Pratt’s bill authorizing changes to the east wing of the capitol to aid Supreme Court deliberations. The move sparks debate over timing and precedent as the tonnage tax bill advances amid party lines and regional splits.
