Lawmakers convene on Wednesday for the annual veto session, where they will have the opportunity to override any of the vetoes issued by Gov. Mike Parson this year.
While Gov. Mike Parson only rejected one bill from this year’s legislative session, he also removed over $500 million from the budget using line-item vetoes.
Whether the Republican-led legislature will override any of those vetoes is one of the questions lingering before this year’s veto session, which begins Wednesday.
What are some of the expectations going into the session? St. Louis Public Radio’s Jonathan Ahl spoke with statehouse reporter Sarah Kellogg to discuss the upcoming veto session, including the likelihood of Republicans rebuking a governor of the same party.

..."He only vetoed one statutory bill [containing several criminal justice provisions], everything else is budget. And I think that the question is, ‘Maybe we'll just bring it up again next year.’
I think a lot of the dysfunction really comes from passing bills, more than overriding because two-thirds is not easy to achieve anyway. It's not a simple majority. So, I'm not expecting maybe like the same intensity that I see during regular session. I know there will be disagreements. There have been the last couple of years, but I don't see them being as big."...
