Appropriations
LB1 and LB2 were appropriations bills and were sponsored by Sen. Whaley. While LB1 received little distraction at all on being passed (despite changes made in a committee hearing), LB2 received some hackling when Governor Forsell lobbied for an amendment to lower the sales tax yet raise the income tax. Sen. Moran took up his amendment but found his amendment defeated by a vast majority. LB1 and LB2 were then advanced through final reading and sent before the governor. In frustration of what had not happened in LB2, the governor vetoed both bills and sent them back to the Unicameral. The governor soon found himself facing the wrath of the entire legislature when two consecutive 20-0 votes where recorded to override the governor's veto.
