Good for the Guv. He should veto more because most of the stuff they are processing through the legislature is bunk anyway, only intended to benefit the special interests who pay to play.

most of the bills vetoed were **** anyway. spend tax dollars elsewhere...places that they will do good. im glad he veto'd most of them. call the special session and get the chl bills on them and stuff that makes texas safer not political BS. show the dems in the house that "chubbing" will not be tolerated.

Did he simply run out of time and veto what was left in the stack? Is he required to state why he vetoed a bill? Think of the time now wasted on these bills in the House and Senate; and people wonder why nothing happens in Austin.
