No Locke on SB6453
Permalink +Wed, Mar 31, 2004, 7:06 pm // John Servais
Gov. Locke is not scheduled to act on the primary election bill today. This the 20th day since the legislature adjourned and supposedly the last day he can act on a bill. SB6453 is missing from his full day of bill actions. My guess is he plans some live or special event on it this evening. Perhaps he plans to not act and let the entire bill become law. Perhaps he is still 'talking' to the party bosses about a partial veto versus their pending lawsuit.
