The Wisconsin Assembly late today, 2/23, failed to over-ride the Governor's veto of a bill that would have restored appointment power of the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources to the Natural Resources Board. The assembly voted 58 to 38 to sustain the Governor's veto, thus killing the over-ride, which requires a two-thirds vote. Governor Jim Doyle says it's best that the executive appoint the secretary because that lends accountability and clout to the position.
