\"\"<\/a>Gov. Bill Richardson<\/a> has vetoed, in its entirety, the capital outlay<\/a> bill that was approved Saturday, acting before the disputed 6 p.m. deadline and giving the Legislature time to override the veto. <\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> also vetoed some portions of the junior budget<\/a>. Click here<\/a> for the final version, as acted upon by the governor. I haven\u2019t had time to go through it and figure out what Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> took out.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Action on the bills comes after a closed-door meeting with House Democrats, and Richardson<\/st1:city> may have a secret weapon: Senate Bill 471<\/a> is a nearly-identical bill to the capital outlay bill Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> just vetoed. It\u2019s already been approved by the Senate. If he can get the House to approve it before noon on Thursday, the Senate has little leverage left. That would give Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> 20 days to veto whatever he wants from this year\u2019s capital outlay.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The question is whether Richardson<\/st1:city><\/st1:place> made such a deal with the House.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

These are stunning developments at the end of the session. Earlier in the day, it appeared that the Senate had backed Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> into a corner.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\u201cI think that a lot can happen between 12 p.m. Wednesday afternoon and 12 p.m. Thursday afternoon in Santa Fe<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>,\u201d said House Minority Whip Dan Foley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

You may be wondering why the second capital-outlay bill exists. I\u2019m told that, though the capital-outlay bill usually comes out of the House, senators passed their own this year because they were frustrated the House bill wasn\u2019t moving.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

That may come back to bite the Senate if Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> has made a deal with the House.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

More to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
