"With a few strokes of his uniquely powerful veto pen, the Democratic governor had remade the narrowly drawn biennial budget passed by Republican legislators to boost education funding for the next four centuries. Yes, really: Instead of lifting state-imposed limits on raising school revenues through 2024–25, Evers artfully reworked the numbers—crossing out the initial '20' and the hyphen—to extend the plan until 2425."

by #RomyEllenbogen in The #TampaBayTimes:

"Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday vetoed a bill that would allow adults to get their criminal record expunged even if they had an expungement as a juvenile.

"Under current Florida law, someone cannot get their criminal record expunged as an adult if they had an offense scrubbed as a juvenile. The bipartisan bill, HB605, would give someone a second chance, so long as they weren’t charged for the previous crime as an adult. It was approved nearly unanimously in both the House and the Senate."

Vier Bischöfe hatten ein #Veto eingelegt. "Ohne die Mittel für die Einrichtung einer Geschäftsstelle lässt sich ein Synodaler Ausschuss nicht einmal als katholische Klassenfahrt finanzieren." @DerSynodaleWeg #SynodalerWeg https://www.katholisch.de/artikel/45776-hoff-mentalitaetsriss-unter-bischoefen-beschaedigt-handlungsfaehigkeit

by #BrianBurgess in #TheCapitolist:

"Line item 1463A, a $24 million grant, would have been channeled to Florida under the title 'Grants And Aids To Local Governments And Non-state Entities.' The money relied solely on funding from the federal Infrastructure Investment And Jobs Act Funding and would have cost Florida nothing. The intended use for the funds was to upgrade rural wastewater motors and improve the efficiency pumping infrastructure in smaller counties across the state.

"An even bigger impact, though, rests in DeSantis’ veto of line item 1463B, a seemingly innocuous $5 million grant through the Federal Inflation Reduction Act, intended to set up required planning and accountability infrastructure for a larger tranche of federal cash aimed at improving energy efficiency across all 50 states. To qualify for the larger block of funds, states were expected to set up the accountability programs first. But the veto set off a chain reaction, killing off Florida’s efforts to meet the federal requirements, which in turn effectively disqualified Florida from receiving two larger federal block grants, each worth $173 million, or $346 million in all."

⛔️Ein Fahrtauglichkeits-Check ab 70 passt überhaupt nicht in die Lebenswirklichkeit unserer „aktiven Rentner“ von heute.
⛔️Deshalb ein klares #veto gegen das geplante Verkehrssicherheitspaket @EuropeanParl

Stattdessen für #Sicherheit auf unseren #Straßen ℹ️👇

Løkke siger så meget, der ofte udlægges som stort mod - men også som tanker, der går i forskellige retninger.

🤔 Når det handler om #veto i EU må @larsloekke (og @regeringDK) godt sige tingene mere tydeligt.

#NorthCarolina #GOP overrides the governors #veto to impose a wildly unpopular law restricting #ReproductiveRights, proving once again that #Republicans want to #rule, not to #lead.

@BlueWaver22 @eveleigh @SocraticEthics The United Nations for all its shortcomings is the best hope we have as a global governance watchdog.

RT @RRInternational: Europarlamentarul @negrescuvictor a solicitat, miercuri, în Comisia pentru petiţii a Legislativului european, ca Parlamentul European şi Comisia Europeană să conteste legalitatea #veto-ului aplicat de Austria împotriva aderării României la spaţiul #Schengen.

The United Nations for all its shortcomings is the best hope we have as a global governance watchdog (apparently). Needless to say it needs major reforms & restructuring, not least ending the #veto & end present security council failures, they are undemocratic. We need to experiment with democracy not put it in a box. It let's #civilsociety thrive & people grow. #worldfederalism #Education #Equality #Justice #worldcitizen #sortition

Lesenswerter Artikel im #Veto Magazin über Hila Latif.
"Wenn das Schicksal ihres Geburtslandes mal wieder von Schlagzeilen überlagert wird, erhebt Hila Latif die Stimme. Sie weiß: der Freiheitskampf der afghanischen Frauen ist entscheidend für den Feminismus weltweit..."
Überhaupt kann ich die Berichte, Artikel und Interviews im Veto Magazin empfehlen

Disenfranchised: Conservatives on the court don’t need to adopt the cockamamie theory of Moore v. Harper to ensure smooth sailing for Republican candidates and their next coup. Conservatives are already allowed partisan #gerrymandering and #VoterSuppression and hold a SCOTUS #veto over any liberal policies to expand voting. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/indepdendent-state-legislature-moore-harper/

La @EU_Commission debe ser valiente y encontrar vías para acabar con usos abusivos del #veto nacional como los que viene practicando #Orbán, que suponen un permanente chantaje político al conjunto de la #UE.

La aplicación del artículo 116 podría ser una de estas medidas ⚖️🇪🇺

Recently my country became a victim of national vetoes. Despite this injustice I believe that the #veto right is an indispensable instrument for smaller #memberstates as it allows them to influence important issues in the #EU.This right is also enshrined in the treaties.#EPlenary

Bulgarien und Rumänien wurden heute nicht in den #Schengen-Raum aufgenommen. Das ist beschämend. Das #Veto von Österreich spricht gegen alles, wofür unsere EU eigentlich steht.
RT @DLF: Kroatien kann dem Schengen-Raum zum 1. Januar 2023 beitreten. Das haben die Innenminister der Mitgliedsländer entschieden. Bulgarien und Rumänien bekamen nicht die nötige Zustimmung. Weitere Einzelheiten in Kürze. #Kroatien #Schengen

RT @PM_ViktorOrban: 1/3 Today’s news was all about Hungary vetoing financial assistance to #Ukraine. This is fake news. Hungary is ready to give financial assistance to Ukraine, on a bilateral basis. No #veto, no blackmailing.
