1. 2425? Four centuries from now? She's needs to re-shoot this video.

2. 2425 is the accurate year based on what the governor did. nt

3. And what did he do that will matter four centuries from now?

[Gore1FL]

4. P{robably nothing as it will likely be reversed by then. In the meantime, the expiration date is set at 2425. nt

5. Hope so as that seems to be an arbitrary expiration date to me that means little. 4 centuries away?

6. This is an example of Wisconsin's "Frankenstein Veto".

The voters approved a constitutional amendment a couple of years back which prevents the governor from crafting sentences from parts of two or more sentences and from crafting words by vetoing individual letters. The amendment said nothing about crafting new numbers. The governor wanted to make the school funding increase permanent and so he vetoed a bunch of words and letters until he got the numbers "2", "4", "2" and "5" next to each other.

The Wisconsin supreme Court just ruled 4-3 that this is permissable and if the legislature doesn't like it, they need to pass a new constitutional amendment to fix their oversight.

7. You can't be choosy if you are exploiting veto language.

I get the impression you didn;t watch the video.

8. Four centuries? Kinda silly.
