Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon this year vetoed 14 bills state lawmakers wanted to add to the lawbooks.
And 13 of them still could become law, if two-thirds of the senators and representatives vote to override Nixon's vetoes when they return to Jefferson City Wednesday for the veto session at the Capitol.
But, based on responses from lawmakers to questions the News Tribune sent last week, it appears the General Assembly will try to override just two of the governor's rejections - their bill reinstating the use tax on vehicles purchased out of state, and their bill allowing employers to exempt themselves, based on religious or moral reasons, from mandatory insurance coverage for abortions, contraception and sterilization.
