Missouri Legislature Issues Just Eighth Veto Override in 150 Years
|
The Missouri General Assembly overrode one of Gov. Jay Nixon’s vetoes in a day-long legislative session Wednesday. The Republican-controlled body took the initiative to override Nixon’s veto of Senate Bill 749. The measure provided insurance companies a way to opt out of providing contraception on religious and/or moral grounds. It was just the eighth override of a Missouri governor’s veto since 1855. All eight of those happened from 1976 to the present. Original post by Yahoo! Contributor Network and software by Elliott Back Not What You Needed? Check Out These Related Sites... |
