Miss. Supreme Court rules in favor of governor in suit over partial vetoes The Mississippi Supreme Court handed down a victory to Gov. Tate Reeves in a dispute with two state representatives. By WDAM Staff | December 17, 2020 at 4:19 PM CST - Updated December 17 at 4:51 PM
JACKSON, Miss. (WDAM) - The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Gov. Tate Reeves did not exceed his authority when he vetoed parts of an appropriations bill passed by the Legislature.
The decision reverses a Hinds County Chancery Court ruling that found Reeves’ partial vetoes to be unconstitutional.
The dispute arose after House Speaker Philip Gunn and Rep. Jason White filed suit against the governor in August after Reeves vetoed parts of House Bill 1782, which appropriated federal COVID-19 relief funds from the CARES Act, and a school funding bill, which the Legislature later overrode.
