Veto Override Session Will Not Take Place in Louisiana

In true gutless, Louisiana political fashion, a majority of those that “serve” the citizens of the state decided to stay home and do nothing to fight back against a liberal Governor. Bills vetoed by “Honor Code” Edwards, that were overwhelmingly supported by legislators, will not have the chance to be overridden in special session.

Below are the names of Senators who chose not to stand by their own vote. We’re not done with House side because numerous reps have gone on record as submitting the petition but do not appear on the list. #lalege pic.twitter.com/mqTKdnCmvB

Official word is there will NOT be a veto override session. Not enough people got on board to make it happen. The governor's vetoes still stand, but the bill authors have said they are considering bringing the bills again next year. #lalege #lagov pic.twitter.com/9atPIA4nqP

It's official. No veto override session Saturday. Enough members of the Senate (25 while it only takes a 20-members majority) opted out. House didn't opt out, but all it takes is one chamber to cancel #lagov #lalege
