On June 6, , the Kansas legislature overrode Gov. Sam Brownback 's R veto of legislation that repealed tax cuts Brownback had signed in Legislators' successful override came after several months of intra-party and inter-party conflict within the Republican-controlled Kansas Legislature.

Conservative Republicans aligned with Brownback argued that a rollback would amount to a tax hike and hurt the economy. Democrats supported repealing the tax cuts but, in some cases, voted alongside conservatives because they felt that additional tax revenue beyond a repeal of the tax cuts was needed or because of attached legislation related to school funding. The original rates were 6. The legislation dropped those rates to 4.

It also established state income tax exemptions for more than , farmers and business owners throughout Kansas. On June 5, the House voted to remove the tax exemptions, bring back a third tax bracket, and raise income tax rates 5. The Senate voted for the bill This is bad for Kansas and bad for the many Kansans who would have more of their hard-earned money taken from them.

Included among the yes votes for the override were eight House Republicans and six Senate Republicans who unseated Republican lawmakers aligned with Brownback in the primary elections. In February , the Legislature passed a similar bill to rollback the tax cuts, but Brownback vetoed it. In response, the House voted to override the veto.

Denney upholding Gov. Butch Otter's veto of a repeal of the statewide grocery tax passed by the Republican-controlled Idaho Legislature in the waning days of the legislative session. The case considered the parameters of the governor's power to issue post-adjournment vetoes.

Otter issued his veto after the Legislature adjourned and, because the Idaho Constitution does not allow legislators to call for a special session to override vetoes, the veto was permanent. The grocery tax repeal passed the state House and the state Senate Both vote margins exceeded the two-thirds threshold needed to override gubernatorial vetoes in Idaho, which is 47 of the 70 members in the Idaho House of Representatives and 24 of the 35 members in the Idaho State Senate if all members are in attendance.

Following the elections, Republicans had a advantage in the state Senate and a advantage in the state House. The grocery tax repeal veto was challenged by 30 Republican lawmakers via a petition for a writ of mandamus, a judicial order which compels a government official to take a particular action. The legislators who filed the petition said that Secretary of State Lawerence Denney R acted improperly when he accepted the veto because Otter issued it more than 10 days after the Legislature adjourned.

The Idaho Constitution establishes a day deadline for signing bills after the Legislature adjourns before they automatically become law. However, in the case Cenarrusa v. Andrus , the Idaho Supreme Court ruled that the day period should start when the governor receives the bill from the Legislature, not when the Legislature adjourns.

This was to prevent the Legislature from withholding bills from the governor until the end of the day period. In the case of the grocery tax repeal, Otter vetoed the bill more than 10 days after the legislature adjourned, but less than 10 days from when he received it from the Legislature, thus acting in compliance with the Cenarrusa decision. In the majority opinion denying the writ of mandamus, Justice Daniel Eismann ruled that the governor has only 10 days after adjournment to sign bills, therefore overturning Cenarrusa.

The ruling was not applied retroactively, so previous vetoes that came after the day deadline could not be challenged in court. As of , Idaho was one of 13 states where groceries were not exempt from a statewide sales tax.

The legislative session ran from January 11 to May They disagreed on several issues including freezing local property tax rates, adding additional restrictions to compensation programs for injured workers, and increasing the state income tax. After failing to reach an agreement, Rauner called the General Assembly into special session from June 21 to June 30, the last day of the fiscal year.

A budget agreement was not reached before June 30, meaning Illinois entered the fiscal year without a budget. The tax plan raised the personal income tax from 3. The budget passed the House by a vote. On July 4, the state Senate passed the budget on a vote. Shortly after the state Senate passed the budget, it was vetoed by Rauner. On July 6, the House overrode the veto by a margin.

Prior to passing the budget, Illinois faced cuts to state services, including shutdowns of state transportation projects and the state lottery, and a potential downgrade of the credit rating on its bonds to junk status. The conflict between Rauner and the General Assembly continued after the budget was passed.

The funding for districts can be increased by elements such as income, property wealth, and English-learning needs. Rauner indicated that he would veto the bill because he believed it would benefit Chicago at the expense of other areas of the state.

He said that progress had been made in negotiations with Rauner and Republicans. On August 28, the Illinois House rejected the agreement in a vote.

Despite Cooper's victory, Republicans won a majority in the North Carolina State Senate and a majority in the North Carolina House of Representatives , giving them the three-fifths majority needed in each chamber to override gubernatorial vetoes.
