North Carolina House delays votes on veto override, Medicaid expansion bill

[TexasTowelie]

The waiting game over when House Republican leadership will try to override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s state budget veto will carry over into a third week.

The veto override and the bipartisan Medicaid expansion bill were not addressed for a seventh consecutive session Wednesday.

House speaker Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, told House members there will be no session votes on legislation until Monday night, though the two bills are on the agenda for today’s 10 a.m. session.

Moore told reporters after the July 8 session — the first session to skip a vote — that “we’re going to wait until the time is right.”

1. The truth is that they don't have the votes.

Cooper said in a letter sent to legislative leaders on July 10 that, “in recent days, it has become clear that you do not have the votes to override my veto of the budget. I don’t believe you are likely to secure those votes.”
