Here’s a link to my full story at spokesman.com on the governor’s action this morning, vetoing two unrelated bills to send a message to lawmakers that he wants action by both houses on transportation funding by this Wednesday night - or else.

Cameron said JFAC will have to reconsider all those budgets. “We understand this is part of the process, particularly this time of the year, and it’s one of the tools the governor has to keep us here,” he said.

What is this tool? An ugly game of quid pro quo where the people are actually held hostage? Looks like it. This is an unjust and wrongful practice of power.This “tool” is nothing short of a bullwhip stunt. Disgusting.
