Otter re: veto win: Neener

Idaho Gov. Butch Otter issued this statement on the Idaho Supreme Court’s ruling upholding his veto of the grocery tax repeal bill:

“I appreciate the Supreme Court’s thorough and scholarly analysis of all the issues involved in this case. I am pleased that my veto was upheld. But more than that, I applaud the Court’s conclusion that a bill can only become law if it is presented to the Governor before the Legislature adjourns sine die. That may require changes in how the people’s business is done. I hope the result will provide greater transparency in the lawmaking process.”
