Vetoes
The Legislature passes bills, but the Governor can respond with a veto, a word with the Latin roots, "I forbid." The veto pen may be a significant tool in legislative negotiations this year, with many wondering whether some of Governor Pawlenty's vetoes will be overruled by the Legislature. According to an entry following the 2006 elections in the NCSL "Thicket" blog, Minnesota's percentage of Democratic legislators makes it the 12th most veto-proof state (http://ncsl.typepad.com/the_thicket/2006/11/most_vetoproof_.html).
Governors' veto powers vary from state to state. A recent Stateline.org article, "Govs Enjoy Quirky Veto Power," discusses the particularly broad veto power of the Wisconsin governor, which some legislators call the "Frankenstein" veto. (http://www.stateline.org/live/details/story?contentId=201710 ) The National Conference of State Legislatures maintains a comparative list of "Gubernatorial Veto Authority with Respect to Major Budget Bill(s)" (http://www.ncsl.org/programs/fiscal/lbptabls/lbpc6t3.html).
The Legislative Library maintains extensive historical statistics on vetoes and veto override attempts in Minnesota since 1939 at: http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/Vetoes/Vetoes.asp . In addition the Library has notebooks of articles, veto messages, and other information on vetoes back to the late 1800s.
