In Nevada’s 2017 legislative session, Governor Brian Sandoval came close to the highest number of vetoed bills in state history.
The Las Vegas Sun reports Gov. Sandoval’s 41-bill veto count this session is second only to the 2009 session’s 48 vetoes by Governor Jim Gibbons.
According to state records dating back to 1899, Sandoval governed over two of the five most veto-heavy sessions. However, the Republican governor, working with a Democrat-controlled legislature this year, also signed 608 measures – it’s the most legislation he’s approved in one session.
