PHOENIX State senators did something Thursday they haven t done in four decades: voted to override a gubernatorial veto and set the stage for the House to do the same.
The 25-5 vote came on one of the 22 bills that Ducey vetoed a month ago because he was upset that the Republican-controlled legislature had failed to send him a budget. They needed just 20 to get the required two-thirds vote.
Senators voted on Thursday to enact new versions of 21 of the measures and send them back to the governor. Some were minor changes while others enacted more controversial provisions, like banning the use of public dollars for critical race theory training.
