Joecks: Seven bills most likely to get a Sandoval veto

Joecks: Seven bills most likely to get a Sandoval veto

(Victor Joecks, Las Vegas Review-Journal) – There’s a handy term floating around Carson City: Veto-bait.

Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson, R-Henderson, used the phrase earlier this session to describe a Democratic bill, and it’s the best fate possible for Democrats’ far-left proposals.

At the beginning of the session, there were hushed whispers that Gov. Brian Sandoval would veto any bill that didn’t receive at least one Republican vote. Sandoval’s veto promise has become such an open secret at this point, however, that Sandoval might as well raise a “Abandon all hope, Democrat-only bills who enter here” flag outside the governor’s office.
