Senate Transportation Chairman John McGee, R-Caldwell, said, "I think the 25 vetoes made it pretty clear that the governor is dug in. It's up to us to come up with a plan. ... We've got to continue to have discussions." Though the House yesterday killed the governor-supported transportation funding bill that the Senate passed, McGee said, "I don't think the situation is unfixable. We sent over our best effort at the time. We look forward to (arriving at) something they can agree on." Meanwhile, in the House, the governor's veto letter from yesterday was read aloud, including this line: "I am not going to let this session end until this legitimate and proper role is addressed in the manner which it deserves."
