...fry it up in a pan:
History will record that the first veto override of the Bush presidency will come over an obscure water resources bill that includes more than $97 million for Minnesota infrastructure projects from Lake Superior to the Mississippi River. ..... An earlier vote that sent the bill to the president's desk in September passed the Senate 81 to 12, easily surpassing the two-thirds majority needed to sustain a veto. Minnesota Sens. Norm Coleman, a Republican, and Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat, both backed the bill and have said they will vote to override Bush. The House voted 361 to 54 on Tuesday to override the veto. Minnesota's entire House delegation voted to negate the veto, including Republican stalwarts who normally support the president. Kudos to the 54 House members with the gumption to just say no. It's a shame that not one member of our delegation was among them. Labels: Government
