Scary Legislation at the Capitol

I have to admit that some of the crazy legislation we are hearing coming from the Republicans at the Capitol has me a little scared. I am assuming that the Governor will veto all of it but there is also a chance that he may choose to accept one scary idea to get rid several others. There is also the pathway the Republicans are taking to put certain laws into the constitution via the initiative process. Then the Governor won’t have a chance to veto. Is there a chance that some of these laws could be overridden if they were vetoed? What do the rest of you think? Thanks Andy Bindman

General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC)
Bills are already moving through the legislature that would help create a temporary GAMC program to begin March 1. Under the proposals, services, co-payments and enrollment procedures currently in place would continue to be in place.   Current eligibility requirements would also continue
The temporary program would be funded by a 10 percent county share for GAMC costs from March 1, 2010, to July 1, 2011.   Additional revenue would come from an increase in surcharges on hospitals, HMOs and community integrated service networks

MAPE Government Efficiencies
Bills have been introduced in the House (H.F. 2690 authored by Rep. Tony Sertich) and Senate(S.F. 2169 authored by Sen. Dick Cohen) to make MAPE suggested cuts to state government.  The legislation requires agencies to reduce contracts on outside vendors by at least the same percentage amount as the agency's unallotments, prevents agencies from increasing designated managerial positions during a time of deficit and prevents out of state travel not associated with the agencies statutory mission or state emergency preparedness or response.

Here's the House version
