The governor will need to review the bill before he makes his decision.

The governor and lieutenant governor have agreed on a lot more than they have disagreed on.

The governor believes that this $20 million will be appropriate for his Healthy Kids initiative.

The governor believes this bill cuts revenue to the state at a time when it would be irresponsible to do so. Even so, he is having the numbers recalculated as a part of his consideration of whether to veto or sign the bill.

The governor has not set a timetable on when he will make a decision. He's going to take the time to pick the best person for the job.

The governor has said he is not satisfied with the temporary housing situation as far as getting the trailers out as fast as we possibly can. But there is no one to blame.

There is more involved than just getting a trailer to a site and leaving it there.
