What a terrible idea. Veto authority that can be used to rewrite bills? I have a bit of a problem even with line-item veto authority, but this is ridiculous. At least it’s being used for good instead of evil - for the moment

Veto authority that can be used to rewrite bills?

It has long been Wisconsin law. Other Governors have used it even to take LETTERS out of a Bill to change its meaning. I think that it's amazing that he used it to rein in a heavily GOP Legislature that got a little out of hand during his recent absences while he was campaigning. Namely open records. It's to his credit, as long as it is the law.
