House leaders announced Tuesday that three more session days have been added
to the schedule for next month in anticipation of needing more than the four
session days already scheduled to act on pending issues, including a
prescription drug program and public employee pension fund governance and
investment procedures.

Commentary:
They must also act on HB12.

Now that Gov. Taft has finally proven he will oppose ANY bill that comes out of the legislature, it is incumbent upon the House and Senate to find the best possible compromise, and send the bill to Taft. If he vetoes, he vetoes.

Republicans who were once 'reluctant' to take a stand against Taft due to party solidarity must now realize that Taft cares nothing for solidarity. He lied to them. If they do their jobs, the votes are clearly there for an override. If they do not...those who are not term-limited, and who wish to seek re-election, will be challenged.
