Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune opines today:

Ask veterans of Idaho's Statehouse culture and you'll bump into this axiom: You shouldn't legislate by anecdote. In other words, you shouldn't change the rules for everyone just because one person couldn't follow them. Case in point: Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's flawed veto of a bill outlawing instant horse racing terminals at race tracks in Garden City, Idaho Falls and Post Falls. Otter missed his five-day deadline to cancel out the bill (which triggered a Keystone Kop series of events that led to the Idaho Supreme Court ruling to throw out Otter's veto. Now, House Speaker Scott Bedke has floated the idea past legislative leaders to clarify guidelines on vetoes.) More here.

Question: Should the Legislature add more guidelines for governors to follow when they veto bills?
