Partial veto battle goes back a century

Good story by the JS's Steve Walters, on the history of the veto.

You don't suppose he got some of his info from this column I wrote back in June? Nah.

Here's my favorite part from the Walters article:

Doyle is the latest example of someone criticizing the veto powers of governors before they get that job, but who then gets elected and uses the veto power decisively. In 1991, in his first year as attorney general, Doyle endorsed a constitutional amendment that would stop governors from being able to veto individual words in a sentence - a change being revived now.

Reminded of that, Doyle admitted, 'Let's just say I see the world differently, from the position I'm in now.'
