You may remember us mentioning that the recent veto of Utah's recently proposed video/PC game bill by the state's governor Jon Huntsman Jr. may not be the end of the matter. The state's legislature could overturn that veto if they got a two-thirds majority to vote in favor of it. Now it's looking less likely that will happen, although it's not because the supporters of the bill can't find the votes.According to the Deseret News, the reason may be money. As with everyone else, Utah's state government is dealing with budget issues and creating a special legislative session to overturn Governor Huntsman's veto could cost the state $25,000. The article indicates a reluctance to do so in order to save money. The deadline to call such a special session is May 11.
