Veto of Insurance Bill

There is something I do not understand about Gov. Crist’s veto of the changes to the Condominium Act as explained in Jerry Karpf’s column in the July UCO Reporter. If the bill passed so overwhelmingly in the House and Senate (two votes short in the House and 100% in the Senate), how is that this was not enough to easily override the Governor’s veto?

Are you surprised that you can't understand something that Jerry Karpf has written?

Exactly Bill, I took one look, Jerry poking his stick in a complex issue with many pros and cons LOL, I read cyber citizens instead.

VP Karpf only CONVEYED the information he was given..as one who attended that meeting, our leg.
rep. could not either...my opinion
Gov. Christ, does not want to alienate the Insurance industry's
support for his upcoming Sen. race.
The bill can only be re-addressed
in "Special Session"..

Thanks, Bettie. I see: the legislature must meet again to override, which could take time. (I should have taken civics in high school.) I don't mean to fault Jerry K. in the least. He is doing a great job for us, esp. re the maintenance.
