Governor says time to review bills may be insufficient

Des Moines Iowa Gov Robert D Ray warned he may lack time to study about 100 end of session bills if a lawsuit over the 30 day review period is upheld. The suit argues a vetoed bill should have become law without his signature. Ray questioned when the three day window begins and said the issue could affect the legislative endgame. He welcomed the suit as a test of the rule and noted modest end of session measures involved. He also declined to judge the Polk County prosecutor in the Welton murder case without more facts.
