Lawmakers will gather at the state Capitol Tuesday for a historic veto session. The legislature could vote on as many as 28 Republican-sponsored bills that Governor John Bel Edwards vetoed. Edwards stands by his vetoes, calling the bills unwise for the state…
“All of those vetoes were in the state’s interest in my estimation, and I stand by those, and we’ll see what happens,” said Edwards.
