Lundby Response to Governor’s Veto of Eminent Domain Bill

 

MARION – Senate Republican Leader Mary Lundby (R-Marion) today released a statement in response to the governor’s veto of HF 2351, the eminent domain bill.  The bill was approved by a vote of 43-6 in the Senate and 89-5 in the House.

 

Following is Lundby’s statement:

 

“I’m extremely disappointed by the governor’s action.  The bill was the result of countless hours of work by legislators and it was approved with overwhelming bipartisan support in both chambers.  I believe a veto-override by the Legislature is needed.  I will be talking with my caucus about our options over the weekend.  We will have a decision on Monday.”
