Governor Blanco Issues Statement on Veto Override Session Vote

Statement by Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco: 

"I thank our legislators for keeping the needs of our citizens in mind and rejecting the push for this veto override session. I considered the implications of each bill that crossed my desk, and my decisions to veto were only made after carefully weighing the impact of these measures on our entire state. Rather than over committing state resources now, I think it is fair to allow the next legislature to make these decisions based on the performance of the economy. Keeping these vetoes in place preserves the historic investments we have made together for the sake of Louisiana's future."
