Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has issued 76 vetoes, following through on a threat against the Texas Senate over a property tax dispute.
On Sunday alone, the Texas governor issued 30 vetoes. Many of the bills were those he was in line with but vetoed in order to express his disapproval of the state Senate, which has butted heads with the governor over property tax reform. The veto count is the second highest in the state's history, according to the Texas Tribune.
"At this time, the legislature must concentrate on delivering property tax cuts to Texans," he wrote."These random acts of political retribution have real consequences for real Texans who could have benefited from the opportunity to complete their academic journey and be a part of the #TexasMiracle. Governing is not a game," state Sen. Sarah Eckhardt wrote on Twitter.
