Johnson veto saves most of feed bill but cuts legal payments
Gov Gary Johnson vetoed 750000 of the 15 million feed bill delaying lawmakers legal fees. He kept other funds, arguing the office deserves a share of the 750000 while the Legislature seeks nearly 2 million for its lawyers. Senate leader Romero urged payment under contract. House leaders criticized the move as risky.
