Munzlinger mum on how he will vote on override attempts

Sen. Brian Munzlinger let his constituents know exactly where he stood on possible overrides of HB 253 and HB 436 next week. The Williamstown Republican's belief- there may be an override attempt. But just in case there isn't, he doesn't plan on offending anyone by saying how he would vote. The following excerpt is from his latest Munzlinger's Minutes.

Now that we have returned from this event, the next step is preparing for the Legislature’s annual veto session, which is scheduled for Sept. 11 in Jefferson City. The governor vetoed 29 bills this year. While I doubt we try to override all of those, I am sure we will consider at least two of these measures: House Bills 253 and 436.

 House Bill 253 would cut income taxes for Missourians, and House Bill 436 would reaffirm our right to bear firearms, as stated in the Second Amendment. I have been hearing from a lot of people about these vetoes, and there is still a way to go before anything would be decided by the Missouri General Assembly.

 As these are both House bills, I will only have the opportunity to vote on them if the House approves a veto override by the required two-thirds majority vote. I want to thank those who have taken the time to call and write to me about these important issues.

And the suspense builds.
