Shivers vetoes conservation bill over permit cancellation flaw
Gov. Allan Shivers vetoed a water conservation code measure for mandating cancellation of unused water permits citing an error in a House amendment. He also vetoed measures on ballot checking, drunk-driving penalties, and desertion penalties, while signing retirement benefits and a $43 500 agriculture emergency fund. His vetoes aim to keep current practices and await properly drafted legislation next session.
