Governor Gordon Discusses Executive Criteria for Consideration of Legislation
During the taping of Cowboy State Daily’s Legislative Roundup, Governor Gordon outlined some of the criteria he will utilize to review bills as they make their way to his desk from the 44th Wyoming Legislature.
When reviewing a bill, the Governor can either sign the bill into law, veto the bill, or allow the bill to go into law without his signature; in the case of a veto, the Legislature can attempt an override with a supermajority vote which is a two-thirds vote taken in each chamber. Governor Gordon told political reporter Leo Wolfson that *he takes a number of factors into consideration when contemplating action. [ [link removed] ]*

Governor Thanks First Responders after I-80 Green River Tunnel Crash
Governor Gordon traveled to the site of the Green River tunnel crash on Interstate-80 where he met with local emergency response teams and led a public briefing on the incident.
