A re-do on the vetoed budgets

Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, moved to resubmit all the vetoed budgets in new bills. The only one that will change from before is the Fish & Game budget bill, which now will incorporate the legislation that raised Fish & Game fees for out-of-state hunters and anglers. Asked Rep. Janice McGeachin, R-Idaho Falls, “Is this action the same as a veto override?” “No, this is not,” responded committee Co-Chair Maxine Bell, R-Jerome. “This is just simply redoing bills that are no longer in play, and they are appropriations that are necessary to run government.” Said Sen. Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, “Hopefully reason will prevail and we’ll be able to get these budget bills out, and we’ll be able to find solutions and go home.” His motion passed unanimously, 20-0.
