That said, the Governor’s team wants to make it clear that one “wants to see this happen,” although “no one is frantic about it.” The vantage point of some is that pulling the pin on a veto override over an issue that has such little political upside seems like a drastic move.
How many voters are clamoring for a speed up of the “sales tax on the difference” and how many are more likely to support a lawmaker for “standing up to the governor” for doing it?
The issue has come up for internal discussions and there will be an effort to “reach out” to lawmakers, but “no full court press” is anticipated.
Whether a veto override on SB 0094 and SB 0095 happens may boil down to the warmth of the relationship between Snyder and Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof (R-West Olive).
