The Legislature will not call a session to override Gov. Gary Herbert’s veto of a bill that would establish a clear process for filling congressional vacancies — one that doesn’t allow for signature-gathering candidates.
Utah House members were polled to gauge their interest in toppling Herbert’s veto, but they didn’t express a sense of urgency about resolving the election issue before the next general session.
"It was like, let's have this discussion during session. We don't need to pull state resources together to have a special session to talk about this," Matt Lusty, spokesman for the Utah House, said Tuesday.
