Alaska legislature falls short in vote to override vetoes
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Alaska Legislature has failed to override vetoes by Gov. Mike Dunleavy.
State lawmakers needed 45 votes, which represents a three-fourths majority of the 60 members of the Senate and House, to override vetoes.
Override supporters fell short as about one-third of the legislators did not attend the special session Wednesday in Juneau.
Dunleavy’s vetoes include a cut of 41% of state funding to the University of Alaska.
