Stuart---exactly, but I don't think he can do what he thinks he can. Unless I'm really missing something, he can veto the member initiatives, but he cannot move the money between purposes without approval of at least JCAR which isn't going to give it to him or a new bill passed which isn't going to happen either. Rich points out that he hasn't submitted the veto yet, but if he really tries to redirect cash from say member initiatives which are largely capital types of projects to health care, I don't see how the Court rules against him. He can sustain the veto, but he cannot keep that money to play with as he likes-it goes back to being unappropriated and I believe falls into Alexi's care. Now, I could be wrong, but I don't see how his idea works. Thanks Greg–btw, I’m in town Thursday if you want to grab lunch or something (in town on Wednesday, but at, ahem, Governor’s Day.

Of course if the Senate will not override the veto then he gets his way. How sad that our Governor must have slept through his law school classes on constitutional law.

He just did it. With All Kids, he announced and passed before anyone could do anything. Here, he announced it. Does that suggest to anyone that he is positioning himself and seeking the press pop? Larry, I hope this finds you well,Greg When I think back to the stem cell thing, it was an il fait accompli. He just did it. With All Kids, he announced and passed before anyone could do anything.
