Dan Hopkins Veto Quotations

The governor is taking this quite seriously. The School Finance Act faces a likely veto without this amendment.

It would be a mandate on many drivers that don't need it. There has been no decision as to whether he would veto it or not, but it is really a bill he has a number of reservations about.

We haven't seen Rep. Boyd's bill, but the governor does have concerns. As he expressed in his veto message last year, rape is a heinous crime and every victim deserves compassionate and comprehensive treatment. The use of emergency contraception is a deeply personal decision, and victims are entitled to receive detailed and balanced information for that decision.

If the bill returns to the same form it was in last year, the governor will veto it again.
