Governor LePage Vetoes Two More Bills

Governor LePage Vetoes Two More Bills (Under the Dome: Inside the Maine State House 5.10.13)

Last week, Governor LePage vetoed his third bill of the session, LD 405, An Act to Increase Municipal Agent Fees for Licensing and Registration of Motor Vehicles. On May 7th, the House voted to sustain the Governor's action in what was largely a party-line vote. The same day that the Governor's veto of LD 405 was sustained, the Governor vetoed his fourth bill of the session, LD 6, An Act Regarding the Authority of a School Board to Elect a School Superintendent. This bill seeks to override several municipal charter requirements relating to local residency requirements for superintendents. The House will vote first on whether to sustain or override this veto. That vote may take place early next week.
