Henry's Vetoes Could Hurt Jobs

KSBI News

A state office says that Governor Henry's vetoes are killing more than just the bills.

The State Chamber of Oklahoma says the measures are hurting job growth in the state. They say Henry's recent vetoes of health care, lawsuit reform, and wireless industry bills are costing millions of dollars and discouraging job growth.

The chamber adds, killing bills that have been passed by the House and Senate are sending the wrong message to businesses.

"We'll probably reintroduce those bills, I don't know if they'll be introduced in the same language, but we'll probably come back next year and do that," said Ronn Cupp, Vice President of Gov. Affairs, State Chamber.

The State Chamber of Oklahoma represents 400,000 employees.
