Gov. Tim Pawlenty vetoed the transportation bill today. The DFL-controlled House is one vote shy of an override, but two of the holdouts are DFLers so there is a chance that this bill funding improvements to Minnesota highways and bridges can be rammed through the veto wall. I expect a lot of these kinds of theatrics as Pawlenty auditions for the VP slot on the McCain ticket.
