In just the past week, Abbott has killed more than 70 bills sent to his desk by Texas lawmakers. Nearly 30 vetoes came on Sunday alone, the deadline for the governor to sign or veto bills from the regular session.
"It’s not a very good image to veto bills for no reason other than he didn’t get the property tax bill he wants," Patrick said at a press conference on June 15.
"The compromise will have to be something where everybody can say ‘we all won’ and there isn't a clear loser. And that's going to be very difficult simply because of the distance between all the factions," said Smith. "I’ve been talking to veterans of the legislative process over the last 72 hours or so and said, ‘have you ever seen this before?’ Where the governor in the proclamation for the veto says that this bill can only be considered after different bill passes? And of course, all of them laughed and said, ‘no, this has never been done before’. So as far as a strategy, it's untested," said Braddock.
